As far as total upgrades, I'll keep it pretty mild. After I install the bolt-ons, it'll be JDM interior bits and tint. I plan on having a dd that can have some fun, but not become a project car.
That's a smart plan. People like me buy wheels and are sick of them a year later and you benifit.

I'm looking at the two Eibach spring kits right now. Trying to decide if I want a 1" or 1.4" drop (Pro compared to sportline). Worried about not enough drop with one and too much with the other.

What do you have planned for upgrades, if anything?
Pro Kit if you want your shocks to last longer and give you a more comfortable ride (compared to Sport Lines).

Didn't know you already changed your suspension. What did you go with?

Are forged wheels on your purchase horizon?

Concerning the meet up, I probably wont make it on the 30th. I have a church event that day.

Im thinking of puting sways in my car too. But I hope to eventually save enough for TRD's supercharge. Maybe this summer.

Yeah, that's great, but at the same time it could have gone really badly.

Questions it brings to mind:

How many times did they try that befor they got one they could actually show?

Did someone at the dealership know and set the salesmen up?

Did the guy not have a cell phone? I would have been calling the cops from the car.
