Coils first bud...they look great slammed and still ride great on BCs...cannot comment on any other coils as far as ride quality. Car on its way and whatever you like counts most bud. Good luck.

I like the Megan Racing I did a lot of research and those seem to be pretty reliable I have some now and the ride is great my car was parked for 2 months and the ride is somewhat bouncy now but overall handles well... I agree with everyone:

Coils ... then lip kit... hids... etc...

Id like to add some slight critisism. Please consider getting wider tyres. The car has 225 tyres for a reason and going narrower to me is unsafe

your budget dosen't seem that tight i say go for 350 brake upgrade with custom paint it brigs life to wheel area and its a must stock 250 brakes don't stand any sort of aggressive driving. Even during normal commute my braking feels firm and secure compared to stock.

also i say ditch the ebay led headlights buy some used oem or keep yours the ebay leds die and they arent that cheaply priced for the cheap quality led drls are so played out imo also where you get that diffuser how is it called i like it but yours sorta loose on left side and upwards on right looks uneaven check that

nice choice on exhaust my fav.

I like your advise man. Your a real one! How much is that brake upgrade? Also the diffuser is called S4Play SHARKFIN diffuser. Something like that. I want to go for the new eBay headlights that are blacked out because I feel that the used headlights are overpriced.

Read too many reviews on things goin wrong with those led headlights. I would have stuck with OEM. Looks better too IMO. Hopefully those V2 led reps work out though.

read the same...better to be patient and maybe buy some 2011 Headlights. Sometimes its better to not give in to the "I gotta have it now" notion and save up for quality parts
