the burnt tip mufflers are ussually ebay mufflers which 9 times out of 10 sound like poo, id look in to exhaust like apex-i, dc sports, etc

white wheels are a dime a dozen, just look around

and springs you could go with skunk 2 cause they will give you close to that kinda drop, but if i was you id go with full coils, and id go with function and form type 1's , i have these on my sedan, and they are great man, they ride fantastic and my car is pretty much slammed

as far as the catback with burnt tip goes. i would never go with a eBay generic anything for my car. so dont worry about that. i was gonna go with a hks slanted catback.

Nice joice on the rims, ive been looking on getting some white rims too, wut color is your car? if you get the skunk2 coils, i think you also need the strut shocks. thats my understanding, cuz your stock ones will give out over time.
