Coilovers will run over your $1000 including install.
You can pick up a set of second hand springs pretty cheap. I had a set of Elbachs I let go for a few hundred. And, I think brand new they are below $1000.
Currently I am running a set of coilovers and with instal I am in the 2k range.
I agree lower the car.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.
Springs alone and lowering/alignment should be under $1k, right guys?
I'm all on board for clear headlights, or better yet, splurge a tad more and get Litronics.
Another idea... lose the "worm anus" tail pipe and get S exhaust.

you can get eibach springs for like 250 or so and install them yourself, then just go and get an alignment done.
you can pickup a set of clears for 400 or so on ebay.
so thats like 650 plus another 100 or so for a good alignment.
that leaves you enough to get non amber tail lights and side markers...
and headers sound good as well...just pick your priorities man
