+1... i just went on a spending spree... Gears, bearing kit, gear oil, tires, mach1 rear brakes. Now i need gear install and front brakes... Then i'll cry about how i just blew a grand easily.

HAHA. You gotta plan out your car so that you don't have to do things twice.. That's the only advice i can give ya..

Wheels, springs, alignment. Enjoy.

Then you'll be onto shocks, struts, subframe connectors. LOL

I hate this hobby.. It doesn't stop does it? (the spending/modding that is)

I love my tokico HP's... My car rides NICE and i can still corner really well with the rest of my suspension mods... I love it..

The tokico HP's aren't really stiff, but they aren't really loose either.. A perfect median for daily driving NO DOUBT. If you want to just cruise, they are great. If you want to speed around a couple corners, they are also great... I highly recommend them if you are into the whole daily driving while upgrading thing

Yea, front coilover conversion alone would probably be a grand easy with the CO conversion and new struts and c/c plates if youre not installing them yourself. I plan on installing them myself and maybe getting new a-arms depending on cash. But definitely anything that is performance aftermarket for the suspension on our cars is probably going to be an upgrade. lol
