Some friends & I have a running joke about "I,H,E, suspension, and then I'm DONE!"

"Well...maybe S/C, cams and then I'm done...oh and BBK, wheels..."

I wad thinking of that for the 1k I can snag the bc racing br's they seem to have good reviews and I get some flexibility as far as the dampening and height. I will probably go that route unless someone convinces me otherwise lol

Yea man its an addiction, first just this and that and then it snowballs lol

Picked up my exhaust, intake pipe, jwt pop and plenum spacer. I can also do wheels OR the bc type br coils right now, one will gave to wait a bit. I Think I am leaning towards wheels and I'm gonna do a budget wheel honestly, I like the xxr 527 in chromium black

Haven't used a forum in a while forgot how to multi quote but I got it now, sorry for the double post

I'm getting old, so the thought of the car being any lower than it is doesn't appeal to me, but it's my son's car and I know it's inevitable.

I like being able to back in to a parking stop and not hit anything but the tires.

That doesn't mean I don't appreciate the look and handling benefit of upgraded suspension.

I don't know what old is but I'm 33. Coilovers just look and feel nice I had some Meagan on an AWD 2nd gen turbo Mitsubishi and those are budget coils and they felt really nice, I imagine the bc will feel great.

go check out Raceland coilovers. If you're simply dailying/spiritedly driving the car, raceland coilovers are perfect plus a crazy bang for your buck. If you're actually going to track it weekly, then go with BC. But Raceland actually have great quality coilovers and great reviews. They're just cheaper because they don't sell them to 3rd party vendors. You buy directly from them
