thanks, i was thinking about my next two things being the antenna and eyelids but im not sure if ill like them or not on my car. i really want to find a lip kit soon two i know that'll look better with the wing. as for lowering idk coilovers are expensive as hell and springs destroy the shocks sooo kinda torn about lowering

for lowering i would say think about how long you are planning on keeping the car. if its just a year or so then just get some real good springs and you will be fine. but if you're gonna keep it for a few years then invest the money in coilovers.

You can't really be the judge of that since you don't know what he will be doing with the car. If he plans on autocrossing or racing at all, the springs will blow the shocks. If he will be driving like a middleaged woman, dropping just for the looks, the springs should be okay.

I've got the Progress springs that drop 1.5 front and 1.3 rear, had them for about a year so far, and the front struts are just now going out. It'll happen, trust me. I take turns harder than anyone I know, certain springs will just take longer to blow struts.
