that's funny. i'd say subs and worry about springs later. worry more about what you'd enjoy on the inside rather than the outside

Keep in mind, springs/suspension will be felt every time you drive the car, too. Should you enjoy the feel, its just as rewarding...you may also enjoy looking at it.

If you want more rattles, get the subs.

Springs but even though coils is not an option. I would just save up and get coils because they offer a much firmer ride and offers you height preferences. You can get a used set for 600 and it'll last you for at least 4+ years. Springs 200+installation 200, I rather spend another 200-400 for coils and install it myself, it's really not as hard as it looks like to install coils.

i tell you why you should get subs now, because once you are lowered, you wanna get more lowered after, so you will probbly go for coilovers later so you wasted money on springs.
