Need suggestions for next upgrade

by **hari-bhari** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 9:34 am

Forgive the poor picture quality, there are off my iPhone. But I want to make some upgrades to the car and I think I have two options. My budget is a max of 2k. If you guys have any suggestions of your own, feel free to throw them in. Here's what I've come up with.

1) Keep the 18s I have right now, get spacers for the rear to make it a bit more flush, and install coilovers (maybe). Currently I have Tokico/Eibach. I have about a 2 finger gap right now in the front and rear. Of course, I'd have to shave the fenders.

2) Upgrade to 19s. Right now all the ones I like are in the 1500+ price range. If I do this, probably will not get spacers and definetely won't be changing the suspension.

Any opinions are appreciated.

Keep the 18's. Get spacers. Roll the fenders. Install coilovers.

Rather than burdening yourself with the struggle of decision making, you should just GIVE me your entire car as is. It will save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

first post updated with pics. i guess im just not happy with the stance in the rear, especially the 3rd, 4th, and 6th picture. these pics make it look about a finger lower than it is cuz i think i was on a very slight uphill grade, as well as a lil bit of extra weight in the trunk. i normally have about a 2 finger gap i think. i think i just wish it looked a little more aggressive so i was thinking bigger wheels pushed out a little further would look better. maybe it will look better with the spacers? i really want to get it completely flush.

sc is out of the question. im in med school, i have to travel a lot, this is my daily driver. i cant afford to be without it if something goes wrong. plus i know once i start doing performance mods ill only want more. itd be better to just buy a faster car down the road. with 2k on a supercharger ill still only be like 240-260 at the crank TOPS, and ill still get spanked by most of the 300+ HP coupes out there. dont really see the point, sorry

how much time/work/$$ did you put in? surely the SC bolted on wont make those numbers. i just dont have the time for that level of a project and like i said its my only car and i cant be without it.
