the rallybacker kit is here from japan, will be installed by eastside motoring soon. im gonna put in fa 500 coils i got on this forum before the car goes to eastside. the shop will measure for wheel specs after the kit is on. if it was a rocket bunny v1/2, i could get by with 18x10.5, but the rallybacker rears are soo much wider than rocket bunny that spacers wont cut it. lookin like im gonna be dropping 3k on wheels

all in all, its looking like its going to be ~$11,000 for the works
kit-------2000 purchased
install---2000 quoted
paint----2000
coils-----900 purchased
rlca------500
wheels---3000
tires-----500

things are coming to an end now so time for an update for those that want to budget their own

Coils - Used Fortune auto 500 w/ Swifts ---------$900 shipped
Control arms- used SPL Parts----------------------$275 shipped
Toe arms -new SPC ------------------------------------ $200
alignment after suspension self install on stockbody -- $165
Kit-Rallybacker v2 16pc black friday sale-------------$2100 shipped
wheels - New Forgestars from wheellab-----------------$1700 shipped
Professional install incl. $600 tires-------------------------$3150 (completed and billed)
Wrap --Cheetahwrap--------------------------------------$400

all of the above is completed and prices are cemented, the wrapping situation is still up in the air. i have the wrap, i might do it myself, or can be done for $2k if you ask around and dont just walk in the front door.

you can assume it costs ~$10,000 to get a kit installed professionally and wrapped for you:
2k kit
3k pro install (generous)
2k wheels + tires
1k suspension parts
2k pro wrap

If youre reading this and budgeting your own, i encourage you to reach out to and talk to shops. budget with them, its what they do. dont try to figure it all out by yourself in front of your computer like i did. basicially 10 grand can go further in their hands than 10 grand in yours just because they work so closely with and have connections to aftermarket companies and you could very easily wind up with an airlift and ssr sponsorship with discounted install and wrap.
