Have you tried autocrossing on the stock suspension? I'd start with that, then work your way through mods... you'll get to appreciate them more

When someone says Nub meaning newb, it seems like a n00b who can't spell.
Is it a new trend or something? Because its stupid.
The word Nub makes me think of a dude with a small *****. just sayin..

coilovers and a front lip = fire

it's blitz not blist. unless it's the knockoff.

sorry bud, that's not even smoking.

autocross? forget the front lip invest in brake pads, lines and fluid. Good tires too if the ones on there now are worn or cheapies. And deferred maintenance, you got a 7 year old IS, chances are bushings, ball joints, end links, mounts, timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, air filter tranny fluid, coolant and all that stuff is about due or will be very soon.
