Lower it, keep the wheels, and put in the parking lights/foglights back in the lower front bumper.

97+ bumpers, skirts and lights also would be a plus.

I want to do a 5/6 speed swap, but I can't ever find a build up that has the same info, especially for the 6spd. I plan on lowering but I haven't driven/been in other SC's with suspension work. Another concern is how low to drop it with the Rays on them (super light Nismo wheels and the offset is out there. I also fixed the leaky power steering switch and did the tune up. 238000 miles as well. I'd like to know of sites or companies that had have good quality performance parts too. Any help or direction would be greatz

Here is the link to my manual swap thread, it is pretty straight forward on the parts you will need for the W58, look to JDM Muscles thread if you want the getrag. as far as swaps go it is about the same as converting a 240SX to manual but I lost cruise control and have no desire to reconnect because I never use it.

And a lowered car is a lowered car man, unless your running air the ride is rough and if you run it too low with wide low offset wheels you are going to rub unless you roll/pull fenders and even then you might rub a bit.....I do. But you learn what you can and can't do in it and adapt.
