Default GO or SHOW

Well I can't seem to decide what I want to do now. I just got some underdrive pulleys in the mail and I am still debating on what to do next. I'm leaning towards the new BBK plenum and either a BBK or acufab tb from rpmoutlet for 300 shipped. However, I really want to lower my car with an eibach pro-kit as well. I can't afford to do both because I have to save some money for college this fall. What do you all think I should do?

Lower your car... I put eibach pro-kit on my car and it makes it look normal now instead of lifted. It also handles better too, its a little stiffer but perfect for my taste. You will get more enjoyment out of looking at your car after its lowered than the 10hp you might get with the plenum.

Ok thanks for the input, I'm kind of nervous about lowering my car with springs and not putting on new shocks/struts. I've heard that stock ones hold up fine with the pro-kit but my car has 90k miles on it so I have a feeling the springs would wear them out faster.

yea i think the springs would def add to your car. if you just get your srpings and put them on and make your next mod new struts u should be fine. your car would be sick once its lowered.

Yeah I was going to put a chin spoiler and grill delete in as well if I went with looks. Power is addicting though!

BTW, on ebay there are grill deletes that are one piece and two pieces. Where did you guys get your grill deletes and how many pieces did they have?

Do the springs and as far as shocks...just get some Fox Body shocks for less than $30.00 a piece.

Alright I'll look for some of those shocks, and I think I'll buy some springs as soon as I get my next paycheck. So just two rear shocks and you think I should be fine?
