OK i have 1500$ burning a whole in my pocket specifically for my car..

I need new struts and cv's ok so thats a given..
i have my 19's and i want to lower it as well..not a lot just a bit..
i was thinking eibachs for springs..

and as far as tires what should i get thats a good all around tire...that i can go in the snow with as well..

if i have enough iwould like to get a y pipe.. as well.

any body got any good sugestions for the eibachs and tires..
I drive alot...of city highways..i am all west coast so roads arent the worst..i want somthing some what stiff..but yet not like riding in brick.
but i drive a lot of miles.. and i was thinking coilovers.. but i dont want to have to drop 800-1000 every time i go get new strutts so i was thinking spring/struts

I dont know what to get for tires..on a car.. what has proven to be a good tire for all around driving some snow some wet.. mostly dry stuff.. but a good long lasting tire...

eibachs pro and tokico illuminas are a really good combo. You get some versatality with the illuminas being adjustable. I dont know if you have FSB or/and RSB but they help with handling too. For tires , continental extreme contacts seem to be the current favourites. Falken Ze-512 seem to be popular too but dont last a whole lot. About 20K or so , maybe more if you rotate them regularly. Make sure u keep ur pressure around 36~38 psi on those tires , they handle better with slightly higher pressure.

Y pipe , I would say get a nice stainless steel from budget. www.lssexhaust.com .

read up on http://maxmods.dyndns.org/ for more handling info. They have some really good info on there.

 

Those Falken ZeX-512's do work well.

 

any more suggestions on tires..

i need a bit more mileage out of them..
20K is six months... for me..

 

i just got some potenzas put on my max this weekend they ride like a dream, or maybe it's because my last ones were close to being bald. They corner great but they other day i was coming out of my school fast and made a sharp left and my back-end slide around.the tire place said they were 130 but i got them for about 80 im not sure if thats right but i would check in to it man. And I would definitely get a y-pipe i just ordered mine yesterday from budget.

 

Good luck finding a 19" 35 or 40 series in an all season compound.

 

yeah that was my thought exactly...

any one want to trade my 19's for some 18's lolol

any more suggestiongs on spring/ strut combos..?

 

hahaha, yeah what njmaxseltd said. if you happen to change your rims to 18in, I HIGHLY recommend Avon Tech M550 A/S tires. Got em on my max and they are awesome....def going on my car again when I upgrade the stock wheels. Here's a link:

Toyo Proxes 4, have these mounted on my 19's. Toyo says they are an all season tire. Why not put back you stocks? Buy some cheap winter tires. Personally I suggest Tokico Illumina Strut/Spring kit.
