Lowering springs.

Rice machines are loud and stock looking.

Go for some nice Teins IMO.

[DieselNuts]

what kind of car? really, it doesnt matter. lower it first.

for gods sake, please dont put an exhaust on it. Keep the factory muffler if you must change everything else...

I'd go with tein.

They have a much larger racing background than Skunk2's.

Remember you get what you pay for 90% of the time.

And if you do, please don't get one of those loud annoying buzzcans. 4 cylinders can sound good with the right exhaust though.

save little more, get some shocks along with the lowering springs. Stock shocks aren't built for the lowering spring.

really? i heard that Tein s.tech and h.tech were made for oem or oem style struts

I think you should upgrade your brakes first. I'd go with bigger brakes if at all possible. You can't go fast and not be able to slow it down

[Kamikaze]

If you get an exhaust, I'd suggest TRD. Deep low tones; no annoying buzzing.

[Kamikaze]

You can get away with TRD springs on stocks, but anything more than that and you're risking blowing your struts.
