    Haha. Shes got all memphis in her, 5.25 Mclass in the front, 6x9 PR in the rear, an 800 watt amp, and a 10" sub for now. Planning to get 2 15" Memphis' and a bigger Mclass amp. Other planned upgrades for the car are a better tint job, more performance upgrades, possibly an OEM spoiler.
    Also this engine was put in by me and my dad.

    Thanks man!
    for a moderate drop (1.5in) go with either Eibach or H&R, you can run KYB orTokicos shocks with no problem.
    For anything lower go with sprint or dropzone.
    Stay away from the cheap ebay coilovers and you'll be okay

    What would you recommend? I can snag a complete set of sprints for like 30 bucks, but I've heard they will destroy your stock shocks..

    you dont want to run stock shocks on lowered coils.
    Not sure what shocks to run with sprint. Some of the members here have sprint hopefully they will post up a answer

    theres not really too much of a option. either Tokicos that are easy to get. Koni's - which you gotta find from someone on here more than likely. or i think nopi.com still might have the bilsteins - possibly only for the 89 tho. even tho the 2 years are the same isnt a difference.

    I have sprints with Tokico blues and its stiff but incredibly responsive. No signs of wear, bouncing, or bottoming out the strut at all. I recommend the setup highly

    Some night pictures. Not that great, just showing off the fogs and the new JDM corner lights.





    These next few a little blurry for some reason.

    Next on the agenda is lowering it 1-1 1/2 inches, repainting the whole car, and maybe some more performance upgrades. Such as a new header, bigger injectors, CAI, and maybe a few other goodies.

    What would you guys do next? One of the rims is bent ( previous owner neglected to tell me this... :/) so get a complete new set, being 16 inches, or try to find one rim, and get new tires, cuz these are worn? Thanks!
