I have already done a driving school :D

x100 to what DJ said :cheers:

yeah, what do i buy to lower the car, springs? Coils. idk?? and how long or how much would a shop charge me? and whats a good brand.

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.

DAMN thats expensive, :( so thats out, any other suggestions?

If you don't have aftermarket headers, I'd get those if I were you. More power, better sound, and well within your budget incl. the install.

If you've already done this, then DJ's recommendation to rid your car of amber is a great idea. It really made my car look five or more years younger.

Oh, one more idea... invisible bra might not be a bad idea if your paint work is pristine right now.

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.

After

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

Lol i have already done that with a B&B exhaust

yeah i think thats going to be the choice, would they add any more resonance??

and what header should i choose from the ones below?

How about turbowerx headers horsepower gains proven on an independent dyno

I have been 100% satisfied with everything from this company.

wow 25hp!!! thats awesome, the price is pretty high, but thats a option.

So let me get this straight, 25 hp from the TurboWerks headers and another 18 hp from the Softronic ECU flash ?

If this is true, I know where my bonus money is going this year !

$1700 for 43 hp ???

Nick

Nick, good point, thats alot of hp, and they seem legit, if it all works out we could have 244hp :D

Take the $1,000 and spend it on gas, hotels and some good meals. You need a road trip, man!

Nick,
I think someone was smoking some serious crack when they came up with those numbers. If it was really true it would be the first time in automotive history that a N.A. car gained 20%hp with chip and headers. 5-10hp has been reported consistently. Let the buyer beware.

I agree, if you get that much more HP for that little everyone would do it. You might be able to get an extra 5+ HP but it doesn't really seem worth it for $1700.
Happy Holidays! :cheers:
