Default Just hit 6000 miles...

Yep...you heard me...6K on an '02 and believe it or not am almost ready for my next round of mods...just 1 part (Tom's RLCB) shy of complete suspension (STB's, braces, sways, shocks, springs) then I may change over to coilovers...I can't believe I have only had the suspension for 3,500 miles

I can only do the brakes when they start to wear out or my story won't holdover with the wife (and at this rate it will be in 2006!)...other than that, all that is left is FI and/or Stereo (stereo maybe a little more stealth...no real need for "approval" from the wife like FI)...I was thinking of keeping the stock head unit but replacing some speakers starting with the sub...anyone have any good ideas or suggestions to make this work with the stock setup? I'll do a search, but never hurts to ask.

Man, I know how you feel. When my car hit 500 miles back in '01, my first custom audio/video system was put in. The whole car was ripped apart. I felt so sick to my stomach when I saw my car seats, carpet, dash, and panels laying on the floor... All I can say is that it is a very addicting bug and there's only 2 ways to stop it...... Run out of Mods or run out of Money.... hehe

KVA, since you have some good quality parts on your car already, I think your next step should be TEIN / JIC coilovers. Once all of your suspension is complete, then go with the audio stuff.
