lower it about 1.5"-2" with springs, put your 18's on it.
then you can do a couple cheap mods like some denso iridium spark plugs (IK16's), and then go for some pulleys.
honestly, put your money back to the college fund. it's more important. hope the suggestions have been of some help. some pics of the car would help fuel some more suggestions...
Thanks! I just bought the car in April and it had the intake, exhaust and wires already in. Saved me a lot of money and work, cuz that's what I was going to start with. Whole thing only cost $3000 (150,000 miles on -- I've added 5000)
I didn't ask the guy about plugs, but I'm assuming if he did the wires he probably did those as well. Pulleys were the next thing I was going to buy on my budget -- if they'd be worth it.
Lowering would be the sweetest... (apparently that's a common thought) Cost is key.
Wish I had pics, but I don't. Little behind in the technology here -- no digital cam. I'll see what I can do, though.
Thanks for the help (and positive opinion!)
