Im trying to get an exhaust for christmas, umm probibly lower it 2 inches..headers intake..just the usual stuff for the time being cause i have to save for collage....Going to montgomery collage for automotive technology..its like 35-45 min away so i can live at home and not have to pay for a dorm..I eventually want to either turbo it or do an sr swap, And get rims..lots of ideas that float through my head for my car it has potential..but in the near future like next 2 monthes will be exhaust,lowering springs, and headers. havent done much research on springs though.. I heard Tien was good?

I Was Gonna Buy A Sr20det Motor From A Local Jdm Were House In New Jersey And There Was A Race Track On The Way In English Town New Jersey I Belive It Was Called Raceway Park.Well Me And A Van Load Of People Stop Over There To See Whats Up. While We Were There We Saw A S13 Sr20det It Looked Like It Was Imported Cant Really Tell But It Ran Up The Tracks At ABout 15secsThen There Was This Dragster Looking 240sx With A Ka24de Motor And A Huge Turbo That Ran 7secs So My Plans Changed And I Went With A Turbo Ka LoLI Think Theres A Youtube Video Ill Look For The Link

You are taking what I said wrong I think, what I mean is little dents dont use too much bondo, but when the QP is munched that bad you use quite a bit of bondo. My parents had to get there van's QP fixed after they backed in to a little pole, it wasnt that big of a dent. Repaired by a professional body shop. Less than 10 years now the bondo is cracking. I also just recently this summer did body work, and painted my friends integra and he had little dents that me and him bondo'd, and used a fair amount of bondo, not enought that it will probably ever crack, but you never know. Now to get my point across that dent takes quite a bit of bondo to make smooth and it covers most of the QP. What I believe is that that much bondo in that area is bound to crack. But thats just my opinion.Carry on.

And OP I curently have eibach sportline springs and they give you a good amount of drop.

Coilovers Cost Alot LoL (Over 1k)I Spent About $600 On My SuspsionThe Tein Lowering Springs I Payed $150 For (Dropped About A 1inch)The Tein Tie Rods I Payed $75 The Kyb Gas Shocks I Payed $300The Ebay Control Arms I Payed $125

Coilovers Are A Big Plus If You Have The Money Too And Some Lowering Spring Are A Next Big PlusI Would Recomened Tein-Eibach-Hks-Skunt2- Lowering Springs And For Coilovers I Think HKS HIPERMAX Or MEGAN COILOVERS Are The Best
