Coil overs the D2's are supposed to be really good for aggressive driving and go really low!

do you care more about performance or handling. That's the question. My vote is exhaust

Ok I had d2 coils they are not good for hard driving they are ruff and they fall apart quick. I got rid of mine after the started leaking and the front pillow mounts had gone bad. As far as ppl assuming they r good nope garbage I know from experiance. Get the joeZ

Coils. JoeZ looks funny without a rear lip, at least I thought so with mine (sticks out a bit, but with a Wald lip, sits perfectly). Just get an intake if you want some engine noise before grabbing the JoeZ

A drop stand out better than a sound of an exhaust.

Get coils out of the way first, exhaust can always be done later!
