6k isn't too much to blow... Many of us have already hit and gone over the 6k budget. Its surprising how quickly money drains out of the wallet modifying this car!

New wheels: 3 - 5k
Tires mounted: 1 - 1.5k
Suspension: 1k

So thats 5k on the cheaper side and over 6k on the other extreme. Camber kit (front and rear) will probably be 500 - 800 depending on who installs it. Toss in another 200 - 300 for fender roll and alignment. So you're going to be on a tight budget unless you get some fat discounts. Possibly look into some lighting mods and do a search for redouts.

Btw, all the budget line coilovers will give you the same drop (Megans, BC, D2). As for comfort, I can't compare them as I've only driven in my D2s.

Edit: Maybe an ebay roof spoiler for about 100 or so.

 

Here's what I've got in my car that im still waiting on for perspective...

Weds sport 19's 2200
Tires 785
Coils 999
Invidia midpipe 335
Greddy se 865
Fenders rolled 50
Rear Camber kit 200

Ill do the tire mounting, coil install, align, and exhaust myself...

 

if your 350 is paid for, why not sell it and with that extra $6k you can get a decent used ISF.

 

I have some sp3 you can purchase if you really do want a set

 

Cause then he'll have a stock IS F

 

THis is how i spent my 6k:

vossen cv1 (black finish+tires+tps) = 3k
(megan LP) + Joe z exaust ( bought it both used )=1900
fsport intake= 300
LX grill ( reP) = 100
HID kits ( fog and low beam) = 100
roof spoiler (rep)= 100
rear sway bar= 150
interior lights= 50
labor ( if needed)=300

 

or.. you could get my supercharger

 

Pretty good pretty good
So far im right where i wanna be, just keep them wheels coming
What u guys think on some Ccw? 18x11 0 - 10offset with a good 4+ inch lip rear? And 18x10 2 - 3 inch lip front? Yay or nay?

 

X2
And nah, i dont wanna be spending so much.
Thats pretty much all i want, drop, wheels, coils, sounds
Just something simple as i know it can get very very expensive

 

Ohhh and for those that say 6k is nothing..... Bare with me, most of u guys make bank.
Im only 19 and work frm 32 to 40 hours a week at 11.45 an hour. So do the math
I had to sell my hatch, my 08 r6, and other things i had laying around to be where im at .
Woulda had more but since i have no credit, n no one to co sign for me. I gotta drop a large amount DP so they can approve me on my own
And plus, i hate owing stuff (who does right?) So im paying off like almost half of the car with DP.
So once again..... Bare with me lol

 

get some coils and a nice set of rims with tires.

 

I have to 2nd those suggestion Vossen rims, check the website and gallery for pics of the IS like below. Good luck on blowing that 6k

 

6k won't get you much especially if your starting on a virtually stock car and you want to go with top notch or " AUTHENTIC " stuff. Hell my Yokohamas alone cost me over 1K already, not including rims, coilovers, sways and that's just for suspension or stance look...

 

Thanks guys.

 

+1 on rims, tires and drop! 6k should be enough to get good quality stuff I think.
