$400!!! lol!

I would keep the rims for now at least and look at dropping it a bit, but that's just me. I went with Canuck Motorsports springs I got off ebay and they did the job although, yes coilovers would be optimal.

As far as the running bad and getting bad mpg, that might be an easy fix depending on what is wrong. Is the check engine light on?

I am happy with the stance I got with the CM springs but I do wish I had coilovers. The car bottoms out if I'm not careful over speedbumps or if I hit certain bumps on the highway, but I've nearly got them all memorized in my area and know when to change lanes.

I can't wait to see how you mod this one up.
