The first mod I always do first on my cars are either rims and tires or suspension = best performance gain for the money.

hey thanks.. for some reason i thought putting rims on my car would look bad unless it was lowered and i sure can't afford both right now. being in college does not leave me in the best financial situation lol.

lower your car first than do wheels, our cars look like 4x4's if not lowered first

Re: hey everyone i need some advice

you can get a good set of springs for way under $300, i got my neuspeed sports for $150 but depends how low you wanna go and you risk your stock shocks blowing. I would wait until July when you have money, its best to do things right the first time when you can afford, new springs, shocks and camber kit all at once or go with coilovers or full coilovers if you have over $1000 to spend
