    Haha, the S/C is treating me well and gives enough power. Been waiting on @ramonortiz55 to show me the GB prices on whatever the hell he decides to GB first. Crossing my fingers for Kings or Icon.

    I was thinking...

    1) going cheap coilovers, billies/eibach or billies/881's and getting a front bumper and upgrading coilovers later on
    2) buy once, cry once Icons/Kings coilovers
    3) cheap coilovers & SCS F5 wheels

    If you want to go the cheap route, I'll give you my spacer lift. Only thing is, it rides like shit. The weight of the bumper hasn't helped at all. And ya have to give it back when you're done so I have something to throw in if my coilovers ever need a rebuild.

    Thanks man but I'd only take those if I were desperate and had no choice but to buy some 33's haha. I honestly thought about going that route and waiting to buy some coilovers till later. I suppose it's still an option but I'm clearly undecided. I could go SCS wheels and retrofits....eh.
