Buy the H&R cupkit and swaybars (both for the sedan). If you can find a deal, you can probably get both and have them installed for about 1100-1300 I think. Don't worry though, the sedan parts will work in the coupe.

R u the 'nijwa' w/the spinners?? Well if you are you need a good sized drop so go w/the H&R springs. And since you got heavy wheels I wouldnt upgrade speed-go for a kit w/the rest of the $$

hey

thanks, thats cool, yea i am the person with the spinners, and thats good because i was looking forward to the h&r cupkit as well, they will do.

ok so not speed, but what type of kit's should i be looking at, and do you think the rear deck lid wing (renntech) and the rear roof wing lorinser will look nice... if i have both, or just either/or.

I would go w/something aggressive as hell to kinda drown out the attention of the spinners(NO diss there ok-disses are over). You dont want to much focus one just one part of the car if you gonna put Big K's into it. I'd get both wings(partial to that look:p )as for kits not TOO familiar w/them for the coupe but if they made a Reiger kit that would be SO bad ***!
