what to do next

[mygreengt]

im having trouble deciding what to buy next for my car. i was thinking: lowering springs, 10.5 in. wheels with 315s, smoked headlights, HIDs, 95 cobra r hood, s281 spoiler. or a sct tuner. what do u guys think?

 

[white 98 gt]

are you limited to doing only 1 thing right now?

 

[mygreengt]

pretty much. oh i forgot. lower control arms is another option

 

[white 98 gt]

ok, i'd lower it if it were me.

 

[mygreengt]

if i lower it i would have to get all the stuff that they recommend to go with it

 

[white 98 gt]

i went with frpp c springs. 1.5" i believe. no tire wear problems.

 

[mygreengt]

anybody else?

 

[JonBeast]

I would either lower it or go with smoked headlights...both are very necessary.

I agree with JB, nothing else you listed is really going to look as good as it should if the car is stock ride height.

springs/shocks/struts

 

[mygreengt]

what springs, shocks, struts do u guys recommend? and would i still be able to fit 315s under there?

It really wouldn't make sense for us to recommend anything without knowing what kind of plans you have for the car.. Do you want to race it at all? Drag racing, Auto X or Open track? Is your car a daily driver or a weekend warrior? How are the roads in your area, lots of pot holes or speed bumps?

daily driver, lots o' pot holes, not so many speed bumps. im one of those people that will totally swerve to miss a pothole

I would probably go with C-Springs. The Prokit or SS springs would be a more harsh ride for a DD. Plus with C-Springs you don't HAVE to do shocks/struts/CC plates. You'll get a nice drop, get rid of the 4x4 look and still have a decent ride without having to be terrified of every bump in the road.

I would try to find some used Bullitt shocks/struts or even just get some factory replacements from your local parts store, not everyone needs expensive race inspired shocks and struts, plus a lot of the Auto Zones/Advance auto parts stores have warranties for 2-5 years on those kinds of parts and offer free replacemen if they fail.

sportlines will give it a realll low profile i like sportlines better than the prokit and they both ride exceptionally well

sportlines:

i know sn95 and new edge, but you can still see the difference
