I'd go shocks and springs, or you could get a used d16y8 and throw that in. I picked up a full d16z6 swap for 300, so I'm sure you could find something for 500. That would be a nice upgrade.

i have kyb AGX adjustable struts and eibach pro kit springs (1.3-1.5" drop) i am very happy with my setup.. if you wanna go lower i'd suggest the eibach sportlines or H&R sports.. as well as different struts maybe tokicos since konis are out of your price range.. going lower than 1.5" on agxs voids the warranty... if you wanna adjust the ride height, ground control is the only way to go.

What kind of sound systems do you guys have in your rides? And how much did it cost to do it? I figure it was sound system or suspension for my money so I'd like all the input I can get.

if he doesnt keep up with regular maintenance, thats what id spend my money on. i.e., timing belt, water pump, cap& rotor, spark plugs, brakes, etc.
why spend 500 on suspension if the timing belt is about to snap?:ugh:

those are about the prices I paid, but then again I'm a bargain hunter.

Forgive my usual newbie idiocy, got another question.
If I go with ground-control coilovers, do I need to replace the stock shocks on my car? Or are the coilovers something that come with their own shock, like its own packaged deal? let me rephrase:
If I get springs I haveto get new shocks
but if I get coilovers do I haveto get new shocks?
Thanks again for all the comments guys.
