Drop it first.After that learn more about your car and its limits.When your urging for more power look into a turbo kit.Good luck and have fun.The rims look good
are they enkei rs6s?

first get all of ur suspension done. Then look into getting a turbo kit (jg edelbrock looks good) or a swap. Just have fun

sell the rims, get a good pair of coilovers/springs, camber kit, alignment, and buy some lightweight rims. work on the money for a swap or turbo and work from there.
most importantly, do what you want with it, and not what you read on here.

because your car looks like its lifted right now
anyway, I think suspension goes a long way on a car, engine mods are great and all, but without your suspension effectively getting the power to the ground its worthless

For example Eibach put their entire Sportline System on various cars ran 'em around a race track and saw drastic times drops just by hookin' up the suspension right. Power is great but if you don't have the suspension to get it around the track in constant contact with the tarmac...good luck. Plus around here most hardcore guys have a minimalist attitude, "make whatcha got work before you reach for more power." The guys screamin' turbo are still tryin to get one. In the end do what you want man.

imo those wheels are just asking to be curbed. i would sell em before you fucked em up and get a set of smaller better looking rims. black or gunmetal would look sweet on that car. then a lil' drop and a swap. depending on your goals, i/h/e may be kind of a waste. you might get 10hp and its still gonna be slow as *****. tubro, nitrous, or swap
ps - free mod - paint the headlight housing black. that would look SO ******* cool with black rims

Or he could spend that 500-1000 bucks towards a nice turbo set up. It depends on what you want to do. If you want to drag your car, start learing baout turbos and swaps. If you want to auto-x then build suspension.

1. wheels are hideous, as ricey as i may sound, you NEED to get something different first along with some good tires.
2. get some kyb agx, ground control sleeves, and finally some custom rate springs.
3. brakes or IHE, your choice. you could even start saving for a swap at this point...
- there is no point in getting more power if you can't fully harness it.

Drop it like they all said. Just one question for all those who said KYB shocks. How come no one likes tokico's? Is there something wrong with them? I have tokico's but I always see everyone saying get KYB's. Are they better?
I'm confuzed.

Yes those wheels are hideous
First things on your list should be...
1. Shocks/springs (depending on what your into) you dont need bars yet unless you have autoxing in mind
This should run you bout at least 600 buxs or so...
2. then id at least put a lip and new grill (for that extra bling points)
3. then its all really up to what you want...and how fast you want to be
If you want to be fast then id reccomend Swap or Turbo 2nd choice

because you can blow over $1 on I/H/E and only gain 10hp
upgrading the suspension will make the car a lot more fun to drive
