Default Newby ADVICE

hey yeall, im the new kid. i copped me a 97 GSR and i got a couple of questions. i've only had it for 2 months and i barely started hooking it up with some parts. right now its got a 98-01 front bumper and rear bumper conversion. and, thats a bout it. haha.i just recently changed my system. got some pioneer premier 6 1/2's all around w/ a Gothic Series Power Acoustik amp and a MTX 10" thunder sub. i didnt really mean to change the system, just that i wasnt all satisfied with the factory speakers. ok, enough info on my car, now i got some questions.

i want to LOWER my car, but i dont really know whats good for it. i wana drop my ride, 2.5 front, 2.25 rear. i heard tokiko isnt all that great for integs. i'm not really a fan of coilovers, so i wana stick with a spring/shock setup. anyone know whats good? right now i got some SKUNK 2 springs PENDING. i havent bought them yet. are they any good? and what kind of shocks are recomended? or can i just ride on stock shocks for right now?.... remember its a 97. give me some names and prices.

ok, enough bout suspension, now its the engine.
intake:
i'm thinking bout getting an AEM V2 INTAKE. i havent seen/heard anyone with one on a GSR. i know some people with a normal AEM cold air/bypass setup, and they are doing fine. so whats preferred? AEM V2? or a normal AEM COLD AIR?
headers:
ok, i dont know bout yealls places, but down here... NO ONE knows bout cars, even them inspection people. so im thinking bout the 4-1 headers? my friend has a civic with 4-1 headers and its doing good, but thats a civic. i know its not street legal, but yaa, no one here knows bout that. what kind though? DC or what?
exhaust:
hmmm like any other filipino dad, they go for the exhaust first. my dads planning on buying my exhaust, so im up for that. he's giving me a $500 budget on it though. soooo what would u get? i dont want a too LOUD exhaust where everyones guna want to be racing me. i heard APEX'I N1 is good for that. but im leaning towards a GREDDY EVO? so whats your advice.

sorry about all the questions people. if u want any pics of my ride, my e-mail addy is STYLNPNOI@MSN.COM
