thanks, yeah i love the car so far. and i wasnt really sure as to what i should choose, i just want a setup close to that one. i was thinking coilovers at first and then both when i can afford the bags, but i kinda want bags first and im thinking maybe i could get as low as i want with just bags idk im really confused

theres coilovers that will definitely slam that low. but its a question of whether you wanna drive that low.

do some research on the forums, use the search.

either way, i prefer coilovers. Arizona roads aren't that bad to be slammed on coils

first thing you should do is definitely lower it, and then go from there

yeah i was originally thinking about just coils, but after seeing some videos of bagged cars i really like that idea. id wanna be able to drive slammed but i have to get in and out of a bad driveway and cant really do it low. it just seemed more convenient and it looks so damn cool.

Well I have a couple questions? will you be doing the install yourself? if you want bags I would go with a bolt in set up ksport, air rex or air runner if budget is not a issue. Accuair is a most for most of us since you can still have a bagged car plus get it aligned for better tire wear. If you have any question Pm and we can talk more as to what would be a good result for you needs and build.

best result would be bags over coils. i'd definitely get coilovers first then bags. if not bags with kyb shocks. they're almost the same price if you can get a deal on coils whcih there are in the classifieds. i personally didn't like the bags on stock strut (i know, i know). shocks blew quick as hell.\ and all i did was ride high and parked slam everywhere i go and it was a dd. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
