Its all depends on what stuff you want. Its alot of money to blow. Take you time and pick a few different mods. Lips, gauges, rims, speakers,grille. or do one big one...... turbo/ engine etc.

Coilovers and sway bars. Depending on how low you go, you may want to look into Figs Mega Arms (rear lower control arms) and adjustable toe links to fix your alignment.

The MEGA arms are not just a camber kit, "Camber Kit" is so generic and can mean anything from eccentric bolts to a completely new suspension. MEGA arms are just that, a complete control arm that is optimised to give you adjustment when your car is lowered. Not just in camber, but also in shock angle alignment, sway endlink adjustment and not to mention they replace and rubber bushing that is staked in place and adds another undamped spring. MEGA arms allow the suspension to locate quickly, respond faster and that gets back to another goal you probably had, making the car drive better.

I can work with you on a setup that will suit your tastes as also not break your bank LONG TERM. These parts are an investment, but if you settle for less, you will spend that money in time or labor down the road.

Soon to come, a new upper control arm as well and a lot more bushing replacements. On an aging car unfortunately there is a lot of dry rot and rubber gone bad, keep this in mind when you are making your suspension selection.

Don't settle for something you can have right now. Save up and get the wheels you want, and do it right the first time. Pick widths and offsets that will allow you to put enough rubber to the ground to support your power levels once you go FI.
