when it comes down to it, after this summer im going to need new tires, and suspension.like struts and what not.with the cost of things rims will not be an option for this year.plus being in central new york we have winter like 6 months out of the year. so for tires, im looking for something decent for snow and rain.but i dont want an outrageous price

Fix your damn links so they don't go all over the place punk! twak tongue

GR-2's are a given on anything but a 97.

For brakes and rims/tires I'd hold on, if that's an option for you, and do it all right. If you're going to be faster than everyone else why not go for the 13" brake kit? I think you will need bigger rims (but I am by no means sure of it).

Are your shocks in good shape?

Springs, I dunno - I've been on the verge of ordering them for so long, but I scrape with the stock springs too often as it is. I nailed the front air dam real good a few days ago having to do a little creative manuevering through parking lots. I'm sure I would not remember to drive for the drop, I'd have a hotheaded moment and tear something up.

Plus there's the possiblity of having a group buy on custom springs, if we can ever figure out what the rate should be.
