GC's and Koni's with custom spring rates......~900
New, good tires with the rest....wheels too if you can afford it.

you can get used greddy kits for 1400-1500 all day i say get that first and then if you decide to swap you will just need to buy another manifold and a few other little things and you will have a turbo swap. The turbo should be plenty fast for a while.

If youre going turbo then just turbo the EX motor...FMAX will get you close to 12s. 12's with the right stuff.

rear disc brake conversion
26mm Si front sway bar
22mm ITR rear sway bar w/ SRK
adjustable struts w/ new lowering springs
put the rest towards a set of wheels and tires
start w/ suspension first

ull have alot of miles left on ur motor..if u can get deal on a used blower or turbo, go for it..the rest on suspension and brakes..keep the sleeper look with the stock wheels and upgrade the tires..and upgrade ur exhaust too...drive the hell out of it till its time to replace the motor..then *swap !!* no use getting rid of a decent motor unless u can get a good price for it
