Exhuast (Catback) will run you about $150-$400 depending on the shop and muffler you go with.
Headers for a 5sfe are like $200ish Rims can vary by a lot depending on brand and size. Then add in the price of tires. Coilovers will cost you between $800-$1300 --------------------  |

If you want to lower it.. get some Teins for now. Don't buy all the stuff all at once. Get the springs first, save some money and then get the exhaust, then the headers, then the rims.
 That way you can save up for the next mod you want for your car.

my opinion is if you are going to lower you car. go the extra mile and get a full coilover setup

i wouldn't recommend it for daily driving.. i'm on rsr gt4 springs on regular size tires and i already find it pretty bumpy.. i can imagine full coilovers being a lot harsher..
but then again, if you have really smooth roads and really nice weather (which i'm sure you do cuz you're in cali) and want the stiffer/lower setup for a track-type of performance, go for it. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

A full coilover system, such as Tein SS is a considerable increase in price than just some lowering springs. -------------------- |
