    you can look for some KYB GR-2 or KYB AGX. those are some good proven struts/shocks for our cars. then, you can look up tein, progress, eibach, megan, etc. for springs. you really dont have to get coilovers but if you want too, Megan and Tein has a set up for our cars....

    yea you will. not so much because your struts/shocks are blown but the lower compression springs will mess up your stock struts/springs faster then normal. so most members just install everything at the same time. dont get me wrong, you can just buy the springs and install them....

    choose from those. i have the KYB GR-2. i should of save some more cash for the AGX but hey..... live and learn. lol.... and on a side note, our cars have both struts and shocks.

    i installed my intake, headers, and cat back man. if you can use a ratchet, you can work on your car.
    i installed my intake and exhaust myself (with help from a friend), but still...if you can do it yourself, you learn more about your car, and save money at the same time.

    don't get altezzas...get the JDM lights instead, that's what i'm planning to get soon. Many 8G drivers here have those, and they look great.

    I don't know much about the suspension, but if it were me, i'd save up and get the whole suspension kit instead of either just the springs or the shocks alone.

    Try to get the EGR visor as well, It's not flashy yet looks good on the car too. Like many have said before, go with your own style.

    run1206, thanks for your reply, im going for my own look while trying to learn and understand what kinds of looks i can go for, i dont have an artistic mind nor a car mind but with other peoples opinions i could create my own look for my car

    thanks for your help, i think i know someone who could help me install the intake he said a cold air intake (altho a bit more costly) would be better because it will slowly save me gas

    well from one of my other posts about my seat problems, the back seat wont lock down... i figured out why... you pull the black rubber that opens for the seat to go down and then lock in... well the seat wont line up with that on the right side and it will on the left... my problem on the left is the lock wont stay in bcuz it broke so im going to just hot glue it down and it will work on the left but what can i do to line up the right? i could always take it back to the dealship on its warrenty and have them take a look
