3) better sport rims

wut do u guys think..which one should i do first, i've got only a few hundred bucks to spare, and i;m not very good at saving money ;)

extractor...but if wanna save more money dont need powerzone lar.
thn go for air filter... why not you join our WOC club..wira onwers club.

I heard from a friend that most cars have suspensions which are HI / LOW only.. That's why he changed his suspensions to TIEN suspensions that has HI/MID/LOW and Hard/Soft .. (whatever the hell is that) ..

So if like we lower the car, and the car's suspension is still soft.. What's the bad? Will anything get scratched while going on bumpy surfaces? Anyone can gimme some advise/suggestions or comments? Thanks loads.. :)

if u wan really low ride...comfirm u need an adjustable abs
else it it will hit the arch coz sport abs arent stiffer than adjustable

fstrader..how do u think the performance package is gonna cost me, plus any brands u recommend?

one more question wut is side gapping plugs, thank u very much for ur time answering my newbie questions..

azhar, for side gapping u may refer the diy thread.

for those inside engine upgrades i think shud be no more then 1k lar.

for suspension upgrades, u can opt for adjustables which is more economical considering if u were to use ur car in the long run, if u go for those kinda ciplak springs u might be wanting for more, thats why adjustable is better option as u can adjust it higher or lower whenever u like it. for adj abs i think will cost u another 1k plus for budget type absobers lar! ehhehehe...
