you desperately need coilovers that will drop your car a buttload.what year is she and do you just want the car as a babe magnet?or do you wanna have some fun with her n push her hard

The rims look like FNO1R-C. Welcome, fix the ugly and get it lowered.

Also make sure everything is running fine before you start upgrading.

[pjxiong]

it's an 89, you gotta have the pignose. and well, to be honest, i really don't have the urge to push this car very hard, for it is my daily driver.

coilovers! i was talking it over with my pops, and he made it clear to me that lowering the car will not make it better, he said, and i quote, "the engineers that came up with the idea of how low or high the car sits is the ONLY way it should stand." so yeah, my buddy offered me these koni yellow coilovers with ground control that he wasnt using anymore, so i pretty much got'em for free and they're on the car now (that pic isnt a recent one). hehehe, yeah it's running well, the weather is sucking here in tucson, so meh.

welcome and congrats. As stated above fix the ugly before any upgrades.

[pjxiong]

as said before fix whats broken first then upgrade for what you want it to be I would say get the wheels you want make sure they have proper fitment you may do a small roll on the fenders for best clearance but do it right and take time doing it I would suggest a proper fender roller over the old baseball bat but what ever. take those coils of yours and set them to a height that suits your daily life so like not so low that every time you go out of your driveway you rip off your bumper but not OEM 4X4 statis cause that just dont look right. clean it up then drive it and enjoy and since its a daily just make sure to maintain it and you should enjoy it for a while to come. hope this was helpful not trying to say what you have to do but its what I would do good luck.

Welcome to the club, nice car!

do you just want the car as a babe magnet?

From my experience, s13's are dude magnets only.

basicly the way i see it, anyone with an ounce of sense would not dare lower or raise a car (or trucks) suspension. thats why we (car persons) have a screw loose, we like screwing around with things, we (well I) can't leave damn well enough alone. that is why their are wbesites like these.
