new owner here!


hey guys, just took delivery of my 2002 silver 5-speed ex coupe and already having lots of fun..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] i got it for $15,700...sounds good or too much?
also, i wannna do some mods already to it but only suspension for now, i've got this in mind so far.

neuspeed race springs, with koni shocks (is this available for a 2002 ex?) part #'s?
or
ground controls (also, available for a 2002 ex?) part#?

im looking for a 2" drop or more...so what do you guys recommend? all input is appreciated.

thats a reasonable price. welcome to the site! just so you know...

if you are a newbie when it coems to car stuff, be careful. this site has been known to flame newbies, we've all been there...so dont take it personally.

use the search as often as you can and you will do fine!

once again, welcome!

cheers,
the BALLER

Good price. If you're looking for 2" or more, I'd recommend the Ground controls. Make SURE you get the new shocks though, and a camber kit.

yea, pretty good price on the ride........
as far as suspension.......are you installing yourself?????.......the konis and some lowering springs are def. a good choice.......but if you are installing yourself, well the konis are a pain in the ***,,so good luck,
personally i was gonna go w/ koni's but on the install........
I am gonna go w/ a full coilover suspension........Tein is coming out w/ a setup in late july or so, it will probably run for around 1,200 or so.......comes w/ springs, there own struts and it's all adjustable,....supposedly easy install......sounds perfect to me...........
hope I helped.
peace, trevor...tein if your interested

hey guys, thanks for the welcome and replys.

$15,700 was what i got out the door...i tried getting it for $15,300 at carsdirect.com but wasn't approved for the loan(have no clue why) [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]so i went to edmunds.com and got the tmv which was around $15,780
so with this info i basically told the dealer i'd take the car off the lot the same day for $15,500...he complained about how he won't be making a profit and such[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] after much unhappiness on his part he finally agreed to make things worst, i didn't tell him i had a trade untill i got the final price of $15,700..he indeed ask me first thing, if i had a trade, i was like no anyway, my trade was a 1997 mazda millenia with 60,000 miles, he offered 9,500 and i accepted[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

in the end
my 2k2 ex was financed for $6,200 - $1,500 downpayment = $4,700
