    No need to worry anymore. Got paid and ordered it with 2 day shipping. Will be here Friday guaranteed. So I just need to pop the old out and the new in.
    Also I was wondering how difficult it would be to convert rear drums to discs? And when I go low pro, what size wheels would even fit? i am noobzor

    I'm not sure about the 7g, but on the 8g it's a pretty simple affair. Just have to find the right parts.
    I personally like 17s, but I'm biased. I think 18s look good if they're the right ones, but I would say 17s give better ride quality with still adding performance characteristics.

    So the turn signals are back! I can stop being my own pet peeve (even though I actually signaled with my arms).
    Anyways, right now I'm looking for a more financial route to get the same results for now.
    AND I FOUND THAT DAMN NOSE PIECE!!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-1994-199...NTH0Li&vxp=mtr
    It doesn't say for 97-98 but it's the same so yaaaaaaas finally!
    Oh yeah the cheap stuff. So instead of going straight in and doing coilovers I was thinking of saving a couple hundred and getting new struts:
    https://www.amazon.com/40257-Shocks-...keywords=strut Dunno if these are any good...
    And then simply lowering springs: https://www.amazon.com/Megan-Racing-...HKGMCD89S65TVX

    Currently looking for a strut bar that won't require any extra work, but the 8g vr4 bar seems promising with minimal work...

    You can get the oem kybs on Rockauto for roughly the same price. I would go that way. As long as you aren't paying someone to do the work, lowering springs and new struts isn't the worst way to go. Plus you can always sell them later.

    know this is an old post (2017) but I am surprised no one mentioned doing a 5 speed swap. Eventually that auto (assuming it is an auto because it is an ES) is going to die. I've had then die as early as 130K and last as long as 200K. The tech and knowledge section of this page has everything you need to know on how to do a swap. It also discusses all the useful mods. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/foru...g-US-1994-1998 Good luck

    I'm really bad at replying at stuff. Hi guys, not much has changed with the car yet. Life sure is a bitch and money isn't plentiful as we all know. Recently did valve cover gasket and can say it's still extremely clean in there at nearing 117k. Order all new motor and transmission mounts which will be done next week, they were becoming very noticeable as my driving is almost always "spirited". All 4 of my rims have been bent since I got them off the parts car. 2 months back got 4 new tires(from Walmart, and I decided to let them mount them and put em on and they stripped 3 studs and I had to make them pay an outsourced mechanic to get reimbursed and blah blah) , put the worst bent on the back, best on the front and I want to rotate them but.....so I'm going 45 minutes away to a professional who will bend them back to perfect and weld any cracks. Can only afford to do 2 at a time which is fine so I can rotate my tires lol. All in all, it's coming along. Still gotta the the jdm high rise spoiler and lowering springs. Oh yeah, and limo tinted.
