option #4: tein h-techs, s-techs are for the "i want my car so low that it actually hurts handling, and i have to crawl over every speed bump and steep approach/departure i come to, and then buy new shocks because the stock ones will blow out.

i'd get h-techs and some good struts/shocks

as for eyelids, you buy them, some places sell them primered, and to get paint, just go to any decent body shop, give them the paint code listed on the driver side door sil, and they can mix you up a batch.

option 3 sounds pretty good s techs if your looking for a real noticable difference in ride height but hotchkis or h tech if u want to keep good handling good choice in shifter and **** though.

Thanks guys for all your help.

One more quick question... where would be the best place to buy the springs, and the eye lids?

I know where to by the shifter, and ****, but the springs, and eyelids I kinda lost

Eyelids from bluebatmobile.net
IMO I would suggest a H-tech drop and trdsparks.com is a reputable/reliable company to purchase springs from.
You might look into a Dr. Isotope Short shifter, pretty good reputation on SL.

I just got my Htechs from eracingworks.com, by far the best price I could find. I havent seen them talked about much on the forums, but the transaction was smooth. Got them within 1 week. Now Im waiting for my Tokico HPs.

Thanks all for your help. Looks like I'll be doing SS + ****, and springs.

Now spring wise I'm looking into H tech and S tech just because I like LOW!

I am looking at the site http://www.raceinspired.com ... have any of you heard of this site? I was on tein's site and they have people counterfeiting their springs, and I was worried that if I bought from this site, that I may have problems Just want to know if people have used this site in the past, and if it was a good buying experiance.

Thanks

Make sure your decision on LOW, because when you decide you want rims and you slap on some on your car, you may be rubbing. just keep that in mind.

I would do h-techs and a rear sway. That way you look good lower and handle great.

But then if I had do chose from your options I would say springs and CAI.
