Okay, so I was giving myself the break down for the first $1000+ (Just a little over) I am going to blow in my car and this is also regarding the other $1300 for my car. So far I am going to get rims, lowering springs, and exhaust with the first grand (As next check is already getting the Tails). Second will include a body kit (If I can find something unique, I found out how to create your own but not sure if I want to do that) and with whatever left over to combine with the following paycheck to buy the head lights off of Lew (assuming he still can get a hold of them). Anyways, I see the price ranges for the springs/coilovers and there is a HUGE gap. I see one set price range for under $100/$150 and I see another set price range from $600-$1300. Which is the way to go? In the future, I would like to go AWD, so should I get some cheap ones until I am ready to invest into expensive ones? What's your thoughts? Because the shocks are wearing out on my car on the left hand side.

kybs, are oem shocks, 250 the set.

cheap coilovers, you get what you paid for.. cheap

why coilovers. if you want to lower and not spend too much, get some teins,
then save for good coilovers.

AWD difficult to convert, its doable. i guess not worth the money. since we dont have dirt roads, doubt your car will ever get stuck. for this you will have to swap, and dinding a complete awd tranny with engine its not easy. Plus you mihgt loose some power by having to pull all 4 wheels (although im no expert.)

finally everything else, it depends on your taste. but always remember. do it slow, one at a time. Converting your car into something bad ass, will not be cheap. Using cardboard body kits will get you nowhere.

save for a gt4 front end conversion and some jdm tails. z3 fenders and trd erebuni wing.. i dont know. just dont waste money into a cheapo kit...
