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.

just get some tein s-techs and kyb gr-2 struts and shocks. best setup you can get without spending a lot. but whatever you do... do not get those 99 cent coilovers on ebay. forget about the ride quality with those, think about your life. and for a body kit... usually the more you spend, the better it'll fit. which means you'll spend less on labor.

Thanks Joe. I found a page we have here on prices for springs and coilovers with make and models. I think I will go with those Tiens. Yeah, when I looked on ebay I thought to myself "These are way to damn cheap. I must steer clear of those". I didn't realize that page was there, I thought I searched them all but I guess not. I was looking for a different body kit, but I don't see many. That one that this German guy has on here looks different and pretty clean. I seen another one in the UK that looks different. I may hold off on it and get this one wing I really liked. At least the wing I don't see everyone has so I might try that while deciding on a body kit. Again, thanks for your help and dude above you. I really appreciate all of your guys' time put into a response, with the information you share.
