i am looking at getting the eibach springs, dont know what else i need to get when i do springs, and then hids would be great too. i have 180 pds of sand in the rear and seeing how it looks like that, i definately want to lower. so if anyone is selling springs for cheap that would be awesome.

Just some shocks/struts and you'll be fine.....have you checked the S197 classifieds on here, I think I saw some FRPP springs going for cheap, I dunno if they've been sold but, you should check it out...As for HIDs you can check out Retro-Solutions they're a sponsor here. Shouldnt run you more then 200. My HIDs are probably one of my favorite mods I did to mine, it just makes the car stand out more

you need bigger rims much, much more than expensive headlights, IMO.
Do that first, either 19's or 20's. And then get it lowered with new springs and dampers when you get your next stimulus check! LOL!

Your car is looking good but like others have said the rims look too small.

I went from the stock 17s to 18" deep dish rims and think they look much better than stock. I also lowered the rear only with Roush springs to even out the stance. I didn't want it too low to drive.

I would put 18's deep dish in the rear and keep the 17's up front to keep the price down. Then lower it with the money you saved lol.

pretty good price on 18" wheels w/o tires

There are too many variables in rims and tires to give an estimate. Check out MF sponsors for prices.

I got mine on eBay for a price that sounded too good to be true, but which turned out to be a great price on a tire and rim package deal. You need to shop around.

Car looks great but like everyone else I would upgrade your wheels to an 18" package. It would fill in your wheel gap better and if you lower it a tad it would look killer. I am currently running 18's and have the Roush springs on the rear. To me it was a huge upgrade in the looks.
