Tint can be done for $150 Lifetime warrenty, look around for a better deal.

But since you don't live in the south, do suspention first.

I would do the suspension now, then do the tint sometime down the road when you have more money.

Tint will not help to keep the heat out all that much, but it would prevent the leather from cracking from direct sunlight (especially the headrests of the rear seat).

I also have black on black leather with 30% tint all around and if the car is parked in the open during a hot sunny day for several hours it feels like an oven when you get in. So, go for the suspension first.

KYB GR-2 $230 + Maxspeed $120 = $350. Sounds about right.

ebay has them. but yea if ur going to get the suspension installed your self. probably run u a couple of bucks. but expect to pay $200 for install. no tax cuz its all labor. and also remember to get an alignment after the install usually runs $40-$60 ive got maxspeeds on kyb agx settings 3 front 6 back. and this is the best my car has felt. good luck
