NoahC's 2014 Firestorm FRS
 
I picked up this baby in Adel, Georgia around a week ago and have been having a blast driving it. Dunno what I will do to the car, I can't afford too many mods because I'm only 16 (I am very lucky that I have amazing parents, so please don't berate me for being spoiled). I'll post the miles, spec, etc. in a bit. I have a few pictures of it, but I will add more once I get better at photography.

Here she is! :bow:

I have around $500 to spend, not sure if I want to save for Coils or go ahead and get springs + a few other aesthetic modifications. I might go to home depot and get some black plasti-dip for the wheels as well.

I just finished driving through some wonderful curvy back roads (Yes! Curvy roads in South Georgia!), this car is so unbelievably fun to drive. I can't wait until I go to see my grandparents in North Carolina, I just want to drive on the mountains.

I'd suggest springs for daily driving.

Good options are;
RCE Yellows
Eibach Pro Kit (Not Sport Lines, those won't last on stock dampers)

Both of those will work with your stock dampers. However I'd lean more towards RCE Yellow since they were designed to work with the stock suspension and lower the car nicely. There is a lot of threads on them.

I'd only suggest coils if you plan on tracking. Also, $500.00 budget will get you some very low end coils that will be quiet miserable for daily haha.

Anyways you must be the coolest kid in school now haha :D

Ignore the haters, love your parents and enjoy the car man!

Thanks! There is an autocross course near me, so I may just save for coils then.
