So I've been working a lot lately and have a little money to spend, I do like one expensive purchase a year, haha. Plus, Enjuku has free shipping over $1000 this month. Now I'm torn between a couple options with what I would like to use it on. So here are a couple things I'm thinking about, anyone like to offer me an opinion?

1.) Stance Coils...then sell my S-techs and GR-2s for like 150 - 200 bucks or something

2.) Keep my S-techs and get full Battle Version multi-link and some ST sway bars and maybe some inner and outer tie-rods....I'd still have some grody wheel gap....but I'd handle like a champ! haha.

3.) Get Megan Streets, sell my S-techs, then get inner/outer tie rods or ST sway bars.

Whatever way I go I'm looking to spend around a grand-ish. Just not sure what the best way to go is....and I know people hate threads like this, and I'm sorry, but I've been sitting here all morning trying to think, haha.

EDIT:Oops sorry, can a MOD please move this to the suspension thread......I thought thats what I was in, haha. Sorry!

Wow, that was a quick response, haha thanks!

So here are some possible pricing...assuming lets say if I go with either option 1 or 3 that I can sell my current KYB's and S-techs for 150, and that if I go with option 2 that I can sell my tension rods with brand new Nismo bushings (1-week old) for lets say 100 bucks.

1.) Stance Coilovers: $989

2.) Battle Version Multi/Tie Rods/Sways: $1125

3.) Megan Coilovers/Tie Rods/Sways: $1150

I would go with coils. Usually thats the first step into suspension then you work on rods/links ect.

I would go with option 1, only cuz Stance coils kick asss.

but.

since you're not gonna get the arms at this time, I'd keep the ride hieght at a subtle high until you can get some BV arms.

Thanks for the imput so far guys! I really appreciate it, as of right now I think I'm probably going to go with the Stance coilovers and maybe get the BV multilink in like winter or spring. We'll see, lol
