you can have airbag suspension to adjust the ride height, but it'll never handle the same as a car with proper springs and progressive dampers.

you can't have a boost in power without some hit on reliability in some way.

and lastly, you're 23. save your money for more important things. i can bet you that you're not going to keep this car more than 10 years at best. history is in my favor.
I appreciate the tough love from everyone. I just needed some outsider thinking to bring me back to my senses. Cheers to everyone

LOL. If you are going to the store, 2 - 4 grand. If you are using the car, 4800 - 7400 - the light comes on.

The ending made me feel really reassured. I'm on new suspension, shifter bushings, falken fk510s, hawk race pads, exhaust, new clutch and the car is dialed in. I want to throw in the K&N drop in filter and stiffer anti roll bars.

Yeah I never understood why people would slap a supercharger on their car and leave the crappy Prius tyres on. But each to their own.

Did no one ever answer you? He means air bag suspension for wheel fitment.
