Depends what you want... All show and no go or all go and no show?

If I were in your position, I'd get my B18B swap I've been wanting for months.

But it sounds like you've already somewhat made up your mind since you've already listed what you want. We can't tell you how to spend your money. It's your money. Spend it on what you want.

get some clean 15" wheels, drop it with some coils or a good rated spring with some blues. front rear sway bars, camber kit blah blah most of this can be searched really easy and fast. it just depends on how much you want to do. and if your installing it or that $$ includes labor and s**t. I would also swap the motor first, you can get a number of swaps for around 2k anymore

You were never specific on saying you wanted just suspension and rims. You only mentioned them as part of what you wanted. Ask a generic question, you're gonna get a wide variety of answers.

And no offense, but your car never can nor will be JDM ;). It was manufactured in the US and has a USDM VIN. ;) :lol: just bustin your balls.

As for $1500/$2000 for suspension and rims, again, it's what you want. How much do you want to drop it? What kind of ride quality are you looking for? It's a DD? So you won't be seeing much auto-x'ing or spirited driving? Are you looking for adjustability? And with rims, it's how you want your car to look. Do you want 15's or 16's or even 17's? There are millions of rims to choose from. Look through the 6th gen members rides and see if you can narrow it down.

In order for us to help you, you have to help us. Can't just ask a question and hope you'll get answers you're looking for. Sorry if I seem to be coming off as a d**k but like I said, it's your car man. You just need to be specific on how you want to do it.

Amej8 - Thanks for informing of the information you need..>

RIMS - 15's JDM look-a-likes.

Suspension - Im looking for a pretty low suspension I hate the stock height.

i like the way that car sits.

a lil more info. I drive this car as a Daily Driver. I deliever pizza in it.
I never see my self doing any auto-x'ing or spirited driving. As for ride quality im wanting to keep the ride as smooth as possible. But if i most lose some of the smoothness thats not a problem. I use to ride in a ranger that was lowered and it would bounce on the smallest bumps..

I hope this narrows down what im looking for

Get koni yellows / gc control

OR tein flex coils.

Then a nice brake setup.

That should prep you for the swap.
