lol, thanksss! i know what you mean tho, but at least ur not alone on spending that dough. and about your quote, ur right about doing it right but i've only had my car for two weeks and i couldn't leave her high and dry...so as a temp fix and to make myself feel better i put her on some springs, until i take her into the beauty shop for a full on make over.

Welcome aboard Nikki, I see you have good taste by going with VSXX and coilovers, next thing you know you'll want a body kit and air bags, LOl. Have fun with it and like Rominl said, do it right the firs time.

thanks! i've always been into cars, learning more and more about them each day. i have soooo much mods in mind, if only i had never-ending cash flow. maybe once i graduate from nursing i can go all out. haha.

ya, stock height always bothers me now. sucks cos it just means you spend more, faster. lol. i'm excited to see how my car turns out too. hopefully she'll be bangin hot! i know there's a fujita warehouse a couple of miles from my house ive been wanting to check out. my cousin who drives an 06 is350 bought his intake there, and i must say i'm likin it.

I totally agreed with Henry.. Go with Coilover "do it once and do it right"

Good choice with the wheel selection . I'm currently running 20x9 and 20x10.5 Work VS-XX on Tein CSt Coilovers.
