Thank you! Haha, yeah I do need to drop it. I'm the process of obtaining some tein springs or possibly going with coilovers. Thanks for the feed back!

Need a side pic but if you're leaning on coilovers, definitely don't cheap out too much. BC Racing for best bang for your buck. Depending on how low, your custom (or factory) rates can vary from 10k/8k to 20k/18k. The higher the harsher the ride

Everyone likes the BC but i am pretty unhappy. I have 3 friends that have all returned their BC's or resold them and moved on to air suspension or KWS. I would recommend going with KW if you can afford it and if not stick with springs. BCs ride is just harsh.
Wheels look real good though.

Ah okay, thanks for the feed back. I think I will just get springs, just because I like the feel of the stock shocks.

stay away from tein. they are super low quality. I had stance coilovers for years and they are the best bang for the buck.

F Sport intake and F Sport exhaust for the sound and look. They are very good pair and also hold very good resale value

F Sport rear sway bar (A MUST) for improved handling.

For spring, I would recommend either H&R or Eibach with Eibach being more comfortable. You can pair this with stock shocks or if you have money go for the F Sport (Bilstein) shocks.

Next would be body kit: front, side and rear. There are variety of choices here

On the springs, here are the drops:
F Sport: 1 inch front, 0.8 rear (same like Eibach IS350 version)
Eibach: 1.4 front, 1 rear (the IS250 version)
H&R: 1.4 front, 1.3 rear
All three of these are some of the best springs out there for performance. They are comfortable too at least to me.
