Own a 2k SE, want to buy a 97 SE, what mod to do?

I currently own a 2K se auto. Because I want to have some fun, I will be buying a 97 SE manual.

Here are the following mods I want to get the SE because the Canadians SE started to have differential on their 97 SE.

Here are the mods:
- Koni sport sturts (using stock springs)
- RSB from Cattman
- FSTB from Cattman
- RSTB from Cattman
- Kumho Supra 215 55 16 WR tires

I am planning to lower my car with Koni shocks using stock springs. I assume the SE springs are able to withstand my abusive torture of the SE along with the Koni sport shocks.Keep in mind that Koni has an option of lowering the springs seats and lower the car. THis is a very convenient feature to lwer the car.

I am wondering what kind of tires will save the most weight.

Other cheap mods will be the following:

- remove Resonator
- massive weight reduction (removing mud guard insulation etc)
- maintenance (20w50 synthetic oil, synthetic transmission oil differential oil, spark plug etc etc.)



Any other cheap mods I could do?

Koni struts shouldnt have any effect in lowering your car.. if you want to lower the car, get shorter (lowering) springs.. stock springs are 4x4ish..
