Have you thought about doing a projector retrofit w/ clear lenses?

[Svanzy Ya]

ya i thinking about doing a rojector retrofit as well but as anyone knows, a gen 3 takes alot more custom work than the newer models
not sure what you could get for a price for your gen 4 but it would run my somewhere by $500 bucks total for clear lenses, bulb/ballast kit, projector housing etc
but it is anamazing mod which makes any car look like a hot mercedes or expensive car as it passes by on the road not to mention amazing light output

well the first mods are simple, that last one (e153) isnt. be willing to but in some hours or some big bucks to have a speed shop do the work for ya. eibach and H&R springs seem to be the perfered springs with the toks. as far as wheels here this will help u in ur search.

ull have to decide between summer and all season tires, summer are better for grip but do crappy in the rain and snow. u may want to consider saving and waiting for the TRD S/C too. id rather do that than get nitrous even though it would cost ya about a grand for one used, maby more. plus a 125 shot might be a little to much stress on the stock internals. just a thought.

H&R springs do they have a good drop. what do you guys think about the zex kit

[felonyr301]

Buy the General Exclaim Ultra High Performance Summer tires period... go on tirerack to find it. They have good grip on the rain too and last pretty long. There is really no point to buying performance all-season tires you better off buying summer tires and then having winter tires for the cold seriously. The all-seasons when already heated up performs like crap and only lasts a little bit longer and performs terrible in the snow and I say you are putting yourself in danger rocking performance all-season tires in the winter too.

Don't be a cheap ass, it's better to have two pairs of shoes one for looking good and one for those nasty days then having only one all around shoes

If you want a good drop that won't droop, get Intrax, check pics of TheAmazingNate's old gen4 in the Springs/Struts review thread to see the drop. It's pretty sexy if you ask me.
