Buy a lathe and mill about 2 inches off the diameter of those wheels.

Sell the wheels and pick up some nice 15" wheels that are light and preferably forged. Then sell the Eibach springs for some Ground Control sleeves and a set of Koni's. Then, if there's leftovers pick up some JDM corner lights.

900 bucks will get you a nice setup with a HMT i spent a little over 4 bills on my old hatch

an exhaust.... no rice cooker though get an es oval or something nice with like 2.5 piping.
headers intake and exhaust...

do what ya want to your car.

not many people on ht are fond of other cars than their own.... so just to let ya know.

invest it in a good suspension setup then sell the 17 nd with the money get some 16 or 15 nd ur good. suspension is what needs to be done first before anything else

Send it to me, I know exactly what I can do with $900 more dollars. No, it's cool, really, It'll go to a good cause: I get turbo, and you get the satisfaction of seeing me go turbo.

If you agree with downsizing the wheels and the new drop setup, you're also going to need one more thing: Tires. Make sure you get some good ones for where you are, and you'll be set. Unfortunately, if you do ALL this, you'll be a couple hundred dollars in the hole. I say, since you've already got a modest drop, you should go with the rims/tires combo. It will give you an all-around better ride. Then, when you get another chunk of money, you go with the shocks/springs.
