Well I kinda wanted my car to have to subtle yet sleek and clean look to it and also I feel like I'm too old to have aftermarket exhaust on my car, but that's just me...exhaust+intake combo might be a lil too loud for me

as for the side rubber...I dunno i'll take a look at it tomorrow morning..it looks like i can just rip it out or something.

my main concern is putting on spacers...anyone have any suggestions on which brand I should look for? and thanks again for the compliments

since I got the front and rear sways installed the same day as my springs I cant really tell you about the springs alone, performance-wise, but I can tell you with the sways and springs I can feel a lot less body roll and I'm confident when taking sharper and faster turns...i also see my friend not holding on to that hand bar as much

For spacers, I highly recommend Ichiba Version IIs.

15mm in front and 20mm in rear with stock wheels.

Good info, I'll take a look at some websites selling these.

As far as some new rims go, I dunno I kinda like the stock ones, believe it or not. I do like the volks te37 bronze...they look amazing on some of the members' car pics...or I might go with the f-sport rims...

It's not that bumpy imo...the f-sport drop is not that low (approx 1.2 inches after it settles, i think). i promise you'll love the more aggressive stance and improved cornering ability (with a lot less body roll).

as for the red outs i got them at aerotect.com

hope that helps you. cheers!
