come spring time when i get my return i will get them. I am considering K-sport and possibly megan racing. I have no experience with either so its a gamble on my part. what would yall recommend? within the 1000-1500 range?

well with that much i'd recommend the B+G's but i've never had them, i'm rolling on the Function & Form coilover's right now, but i had the Ksports before and loved the ride! so its up to you. i assume your just daily driving your car as well, so Tein's would be great for you. Basic's or SS-p's....

they get so much attention because they're UGLY haha just kidding, im just not a big fan of them lol

but if you're going to track and want dampening, Tein SS-P's w/ Tein EDFC Controller. If I had the money, I'd run that setup just for bragging rights haha but i'll stick to my H&R coils :]

drop it and get some good rims and it'll look real nice. i actually like that lip more than the rs1. i dont dig the rs1 holes in the lip so much.

paint the lip and your ride will look even better.

and for ksport coilovers... i think you need to check this guys thread out, if you havent already

Well here is the thing. A buddy of mine paints for a living. So the plan is painting the whole car in a nice shade of purple with yellow/goldish metal flake. respraying my mirrors and lip glossy black. Also spraying the hatch and hood black. and possibly spraying the wheels gold with either purple or black center caps. we are investing in an exhaust fan for the garage so it will all be being done throughout this winter. so we will see how good or fugly it turns out

i also agree on the rs1 lip i have seen some cars with a black rs1 but you can see the paint color of the body through the holes. i just. i dunno. but if its what ya like then more power to ya.

Lol my friends and i are into crazy paint. The dude who is spraying it with me has a colorchanging 300zx. It goes from gold to orange to purple depending on the sun and angle. my other friend has an ek hatch that we sprayed flat white then we graffitied the whole car. it used to be all camo haha.
