Default Help me decide what to do next

I am only going to work alittle more before I go to college and will probably only have about $600-$750 to spend on my car.The next thing Im doing is definately lowering the car. I was going with just the springs but thats not set in stone. I really wanted to get a cam, but if i go stage 2 I will most likely need to upgrade my valvetrain and I really don't want nor have the money to do that. And I heard stage1 wasn't worth it.The other things I really wanted to get were some projector headlights and sway bars. If anyone have any suggestions on what they would do, pleaselet me know.

i say your on the right track with the projectors and the sway bars, ican't vouch for the sway bars but i've heard nothing but good from them, i was actually planning on getting a set for mine, but i don't know what i would have to change in order for it to fit.

good call with the suspension. you can always do your motor later, but you need a good suspension before you do that. get some good lowering springs, adjustable struts, sway bars, tie bars and a strut bars for the car.

sway bars make a difference, even the ebay ones, and projectors always look good

I am phsyched about my projectors I threw on yesterday, they make a huge difference on my ride, and they were about $100.00 shipped from ebay, I can tell you who i got em from if you want to use the same vendor, trade went well for me, which is rare.

Also I have to go with everyone else, most of the smaller suspension upgrades can be purchased cheap, and sometimes you can get the kits with damn near everything you need for tie/strut situations. The better the car's overall suspension and handling, the more you will notice those engine upgrades in the future, at least thats what I would think.

Yeah, I already have the strut and tie bars on my car. And when I lower it, I really would like to not just get springs but shocks to go with it. If I have to I won't get the headlights, the suspension to me is more important.
