People often ask me "what's it like being you?". I can only answer that it's the hardest job I have ever had.

The best advice I can give you is to purchase the Swift Spec R springs($300) and the Stillen sways, I believe they go for $300 as well. For only $600 bucks it will dramatically change the way your car handles. Plus the springs will lower it which will give it looks Keep in mind though that after lowering you will need to align it a couple hundered miles after driving it. A good alignment can be had for 100 bucks or so. Also after lowering you may consider wheel spacers to push the wheels out further seeing as how lowering will "tuck" them more. Spacers are fairly affordable as well. Doing all that will keep you well under $1100. You may even have enough left over to pick up a used Stillen Gen 3 intake

Also, If you want a bit stiffer sways you can go with Eibach, hotchkis or even whiteline for not much more.

I believe Whiteline and Hotchkis are at least 1-200 more for the set, no? I wanted the Whitelines but remember not liking the price.

While nice, not always necessary. Although I do plan on gettin some rear camber arms to sooner or later to improve tire wear. VERY upset I only got about 11k out of my last set of rubber
