Sounds like a decent plan. The Megan's are ok... Maybe I'll be ready to sale my Z wheels by then. You need brakes before more power anyways, so forget turbo for now...

I'd pick a different paint color though. White kouki's decked out with OEM aero is starting to get played out. Get creative!

looks like a good plan so far. definently add bushings. and as for the USED megans for 800. just buy new ones. they are really close to the same price

it replaces your worn out suspension bushings. stiffens the car . its just a good updgrade to get the car better without replacing all the suspension arms

To say that bushings will stiffen your suspension isn't really enough. What they will do is make your chassis feel more firm, like it did when the car was new (maybe even better). Even on stock suspension, new polyeurathane bushings will transform the way your car feels. Gone will be the rickety feeling that is has now. It won't feel like a 15 year old chitbox as much any more!
