if you're looking into coilovers, i'd prolly be able to hook you up with a buddy of mine who would prolly be able to get you KSport coilovers for around $750 (maybe a bit more or less...)...I have had a set of those on my car for a little over two weeks and they're absolutely amazing...they're stiff, but the performance is jaw-dropping

if you have $2500 to spend, then think about what you want out of the car...if you're looking for a big boost in handling and a noticeable but not huge gain in speed, then go with coilovers, f/r strut tower bars, f/r sway bars, wheels/tires, brake pads/rotors, and an intake and exhaust system of some sort.

if you're looking more into speed than you are handling, then get a cheaper (notice I said cheapER, not cheap) set of springs and shocks, some upgraded brake pads, but a good intake and exhaust system, cams, cam gears, valve springs, intake manifold, throttle body, maybe even some engine internals.

it all depends on what you wanna do with the car. if you're thinking about getting certain parts, do a search and see what brands people tend to recommend for that particular part...and of course if you have any questions that can't be answered by doing a search, just post it here and we'll help you out.

hope this helps some

IF you plan on boosting it (turbo) SAVE UP. i thought it would be a cool 1000 off ebay.......NOPE......and do your research. So far ive pumped about 2500ish into the car. all new parts but injectors and MOST were deals on ebay. It also depends on how big or how much HP you want. the more HP the more $.....usually
