You could get a worthless DC header instead of a race-proven SMSP header...err...wait a second. Nevermind.

Basically, you get what you pay for.

Don't buy cheap ****. Seriously, if you want a slammed, shitty handling ride just cut your springs and put that $150 towards Teins.

Your not going to get more comfortable than stock. The ride will become more harsh with stiffer springs.

I made the mistake of buying some cheep coil-overs the first time around and they about beat me to death. Plus squeaked like hell! Then I went to Neuspeed Sport Springs... may not be the best performance... however, better than stock... but, they ride really nice, almost as good as stock. My car is my everyday transportation... so I'm looking for a happy spot somewhere between all out performance and luxury. What are Teins? Never heared of them. Where could I check them out?
