I'd read up on the forums, before you make general posts.

What do you want to do with the car, what are your plans?

Agreed, but when i first started off. I worked on the suspension first. Start by lowering it, etc.

While that's generally good advice to start with suspension, we still don't know what he wants out of his car. If he's going to autocross it or race it in any way, then good suspension is a must.

If he just wants to lower it and look like the #1 stunna y0? Cut springs and stock shocks will do. But seriously, some simple cheap coilover/shock combo would do simply for looks.

So the question still remains, what are the plans for the car?

these kinda questions u shouldn't ask, you will get kicked in the *** for these kinda questions. first things first, its wat do YOU want to do, not what do WE WANT U TO DO FIRST, if anything, u start off with the basics like everyone else has,

1.lower it
2.intake
3.header
4.exhaust

then u figure out wat u want to do with it

Unless he wants to go turbo, in that case it would be

1. Lower it
2. Do tons of research
3. Figure out your HP goals
4. Do more research
5. Start buying parts
6. Keep researching
7. Install your turbo setup

If this is going to be a show car HT is not the place. Most of these guys arn't in it for the look. More or less they buy a set of rims and a lip. That's as showy as some guys get. Then you have your JDM fanatics that do JDM conversions.

For #1 start by figuring out whether or not this is going to be a "show baby". If its just a show car then a set of springs like Tein S-Techs, they'd be fine for your needs, if you're going to get into AutoX or something like that a coilover setup would be more in order. Personally, I'd love to have a Ground Control coilover w/ Koni Yellow shock suspension setup.
