i voted springs over coils myself, curious why you say spring too, and not coils

Not saying it needs a huge amount of power. Just saying a car that looks this cool should be able to keep up with a Camry on the road at least. I was lucky enough to have snagged a Phantom ESC while they were still available and it's my favorite mod by far. Back in the day the total cost of the ESC, batteries and tune were less than $2000.
And a motorcycle sucks in the rain or the snow. And you can't even carry a case of beer on it.

Im in this camp aswell, test drove a BRZ with manifolds, and after that i crossed that of my list of possible mods, lots of costs for very little change. Though i would like to add some more noise to my car make it a bit more fun. If my 86 was my project car i would maybe put an E85 map in it, but since i need to do lots of short trips i skip that.

Theres many other places to put that money for making the car fun every day. But every one likes different things :)

3 is too little for one who likes to mod. So in that case, it's best to keep the car the way it was made from factory and enjoy it for what it is.

Lowering springs
