Thanks guys, that gives me a good start. Lots of great ideas, I'll keep you posted on progress.

If I don't do coil overs, is there a spring/shock package that works well? I could save a few $ for other stuff...

If you really want to impact the handling, you have to do coilovers, sways, drop links and a corner balance and alignment. Anything else won't make a significant difference.

well, to start, you already have coilovers on your car from the factory

now if you're talking about adjustable ride height coilovers, the PSS9's are a good reasonably priced street application. shox.com usually has great deals on these. you could save a few bucks going with non adjustable shocks and springs, but the savings isn't that dramatic. take a look at the bilstein sport shocks. they designed to work with shorter springs and still have plenty of travel for the suspension to work property. you can pretty much use any spring you want. i've heard good things about all of them for the pcars, except for the eibachs. i would stay away from those. most of the springs will give you approximatley a 35mm drop. i used the cargraphic springs for a while. they made by H&R for cargraphic. they seemed to be a good product. techart, gemballa, H&R are all good choices.

haha, it begins with 5k and ends up being 15k just like me =P

in my optinion, in this order:

short shifter kit (will probably make your car faster than an extra 20hp would), suspension (coilover or springs) & wheels (will probalby make your car faster around the track than an extra 20hp), tubi exhaust, interior&bodykit, then supercharger (will just make your car fast!) !

Here is what I have decided:
- coil overs
- GT2 wing
- short shift kit
- mufflers
- software for ecu
- intake kit
- paint factory wheels matte black with red lip
Suggestions for brands?

That wing is my wifes only request, have to go with "the boss" on this one. I'm sure I will eventually get one, but not right now.

Especially If you saw his wife, you'll agree that the wing would be the right move. RocC4S is a very lucky man indeed! Still can't quite figure what he brings to the party, just playing w/you, LOL! In the end, this P-car will be as finished as your other toys.
