Okay so i need some real advice!!
I already have an Intake, headers, and a borla muffler (getting pipe made soon) And ive come to the conclusion that there's not much i can do powerwise to my GT unless a turbo (which i dont have money for) so I stopped focusing on that. Now i cant decide what to do... here are my options: save up for a turbo or swap Paint the car for now work on suspension install bodykit then wait get new stuff for my interior (gauge plates, seat covers, fix convertible top) the problem is that i never get what i NEED, i always geting what i WANT, so i need ur advice. Obviously Money is the issue...more expensive it is, the more time its gonna take me to get it done for exampe, $100 dollars = 1-2 weeks so if i get the car painted 1st, i have to wait around a month. so i need ur advice what to do??

So i was doing a little thinking, and decided to fix the suspension 1st and THEN install the kit so when there are bumps, i dont break it due to my effed up struts...
so now the question is...what shud i get?? KYBs with Eibachi springs? or TRD springs... and since i need new rotors...should i just get the factory spec from autozone or the slotted rotors from ebay?? -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

Slotted rotors are nice looking and all, but if you're not gonna be taking the car on the track, just get factory spec. The slots are meant for ventilation to keep the rotors from excessive heat during a race. There's no racing on the streets. And if you think about it, the stopping distance on a slotted rotor is extended because there's less surface area for the pistons to clamp down on. As for suspension, I've seen a lot of people on the site that are happy with KYB GR2s and Eibach Sportlines. Personally I'm going with fully adjustable coilovers because I like to fidget with things and I know I'll want to change the settings later on. Hope that helps any!
