Thanks that's the plan...the reason why I was looking into coils is because of the height adjustability and also the ride quality because my car is a DD

Also... buy used. You can get a good exhaust and springs for $800 probably.

if your on a budget..... dont mod the car, it is great the way it sits. you dont want to cheap out because you will waste money replacing cheap parts later. you dont need coil overs for a nice ride, i have eibachs and tokico dpecs and it is a rough ride because i want it to be... but you can adjust the shocks how you want

Alright guys I guess I'll stick with springs. And does anybody here have or had any experience with Megan exhaust? I've heard good things about them and the sound is not bad at all

not too bad, but you can honestly get a better exhaust for the money. i had the invidia gemini as my first exhaust and loved it, it runs about 900 but to me the quality is better than the megan. it is your car and obviously you are going to do what you want with it... just dont jump into things or make rash decisions

I see my Bassani exhaust sell for $600 used, and lots of other quality exhausts. Don't think Greddy, ARK, or any other name brand is your ONLY performance option. Magnaflow exists for a reason even.

"Should I buy this or should I buy that, since I don't have enough for both. Should I dream or should I penny pinch?" No offense been here for some time and these threads pop up constantly.

Look around and see what people have, everyone has their own mod budget. Do some research as there are countless setups and reviews since 2002.

Well you mention 100k miles , your shocks are shot unless they have been swapped out in the past.

Order of parts

Shocks
Exhaust
Springs .

exhaust and springs can be swapped. Since neither is actually being done for performance, the order of the two does not matter.
