you should learn to spend your money more wisely. i would save it, invest it, and leave the car as is.

^im not looking to invest it...whats the point of being passionate about modifying my car if you just tell me to invest it.

i posted the topic of my thread being what to do for my "suspension" and "sound system"...not how best to get on the forbes 500.

then you got issues if you can't make your own decisions and do your own research. maybe you should take decision making classes or better yet, money management.

dont worry he was born a dick ^^. Be sure and get some very high quality components and an amp for your sound system. If i were doing suspension just get some of the best reviewed coilovers out. Get some good sways, all the bracing for the chassis underneath. Theres some more stuff you will want but i dont think it will come out to 10k I would throw some more of that into a bodykit personally.

wow, great way to blow money there. anyway as for your comment about me being a dick, let's get this straight. the OP question is the same as askign the countless other quetiosn like "what is the best, what should i get, et. truly it is a waste of space. do your own frickin research, get what you like, who cares. but since he wanted to know what to do with his money and can't make his own desicions, i told him what i would do. don't like it, don't do it. i can think of numerous ways to better spend 11K and it has nothing to do with "modding my car". plus when it comes to mods, performance > anything else first.

TT or SC and then get some springs, sways and supporting breathing mods. If you have any money left maybe brakes or underbody bracing?

If your putting such an elaborate system in your car that will more than likely add weight and make your car slower, than why do you need such an expensive suspension setup. It just doesn't make sense in my mind....anyways I would suggest doing a bit of research on this forum. May want to consider a financial advisor also...

paypal the money to its_kookie@yahoo.com

Ill make sure that money is well spent. If you want to choose another route I would definately put it towards FI and youll completely forget about the stereo. OEM radio is enough for this little car.
