Just got my new (to me) 2k SE 5sp.

Grey Lustre w/Blk Leather. 5sp 17" 6 spoke OEM
35% tint.
Bose with 10 disc changer
36k
2 nose masks (any one need these?)
I paid $14,500.
NO paint chips and immaculate interior.
Poor Potenza OEM's
-----------------------------------------------

Planned mods:
custommaxima FSTB
Addco RSB
JWT POP/Intake
Nicer tires when OEMS go out. I understand 235/50/17 WILL be in spec for 17" OEMS. Correct me if i am wrong.

------------------------------------------------

Future mods:
Y pipe
RT cat
Greddy Cat-Back
Springs/Struts
------------------------------------------------

I think that the planned mods will suffice for a little while. At least till spring. Then maybe some drop with Maxspeed/Progressive/HR/Eibach springs. I like the idea of having Adj. struts because as they start to get a little soft, you can always tighten them up.

After reading it seems like Maxspeeds and HR give the best ride and the least drop. I'm not looking to be super low, just a nice stance. I dont want the rear end to be squatting at all. Some of these springs make the car look unneven, almost like there are three adults in the back seat, or maybe its all the audio equipment So the least drop in the rear the better. IMO

I have no idea why I posted this. Oh yeah, I'm at work and it's dead.

congratulations....

one word of advice....

don't get JWT Popcharger.

Get either: Franken Intake, Berk Intake or Place Racing CAI.

Hmmm...

I really dont want to cut a hole in my fender, plus I dont have a garage to work in, so all of the initial mods will need to be extremely bolt on.
