    Weekend warrior? H&R Sport with Billy Sport shocks. Make sure everything else is good before you do that though (bushings, ball joints, tie rods etc.).

    And before you do the suspension, you should remove all of the trim and the door handles and paint it all black along with the rocker panels and bottom of the rear valence. That thing is way too white.

        yeah i know... as i said just started. i bought it this way. i think it got a maco paint job. it also needs a new trim piece on the left back doer. its all in the works. i have all the control arms and stuff. just waiting to get some input before i buy the struts and stuff. i want something stiff enough to have some fun at auto cross events and stuff, but not to stiff for the street.

            Looks like a good clean starting point though.

                ^^It looks HORRID! That's WAY too much white. Even the door handles are white! With out black trim, that's just sin!
