Chrome rims or in the engine bay = tacky IMO. You only have one header. Not headers. You need to decide how low you want it and if you will want to adjust the height over time.

Well do you want to be able to adjust it? If so I would recommend getting new shocks and adjustable coilovers. If you're fine with a set drop get a set of shocks and lowering springs. Just don't cheap out on suspension parts. It's worth the money to get quality parts.

Welcome to the site. Yeah, like everyone else said, you have a pretty nice car, but those wheels completely ruin it.

i know they are really flashy i had 18'' panther rims on it they were a 5 spoke black with a chrome lip but they were to rough to drive with so i down sized to 17''s just putting this out there what kind of style would look nice with my car once i dropped it and i was wondering about the dropzone lowering springs and then i would get new shocks or how about the skunk2 lowering springs i just wanna hear what people have to say about them i wanna do it right with a nice ride not bouncing around like on my 98 si and 2''s max but still keeping my cost down for a engine swap later on
