here is what i am thinking of doing over the summer i would like some help/ thoughts
lowering
should i get lowering springs and new shocks or cheep coilovers
lowering srings tein or eibach + KYB shocks?
or basic tein coil overs?
exhaust
I want something deep and low, and not winy, should i try to find a TRD or go for a Apexi N1...i want something that sounds good, is not 4 inch's wide and has good performance
i did do some searching and i have been youtubeing sound clips, and i know it more my preference of what i want but i just wanted an opinion
TRD body kit
i am thinking or ordering from Jintei
opinion?

imo:
go for tein ss/ssp... but basic is ok.
greddy evo2 or ti-c sounds good... so does RSR gt2
do a 03+ front conversion and a c-one lip from jintei.

i would do tein s techs with kybs if you're on a budget, and get a trd exhaust.

jintei is good, I just picked up some vielside bumpers from him a few days ago.
Extended TRD is a nice exhaust, and I am not sure about lowering it, I still need to research it myself.
Tein Basics are perfect for your application and a great value
TRD is the best exhaust in terms of sound and performance
Body kits are for ricers. Go with a tasteful rear lip spoiler (like an M3/RS6) and call it a day.

I've got the RSR exhaust but I think its kinda whiny...

does it serve no performance purpose whatsoever? Yes.
is it intended to LOOK like it serves a performance purpose? Yes.
Does it actually reduce performance (by drag and weight)? Yes.
Therefore it is rice.

I got a body kit from Jintei a couple of months ago, it was pretty decent.
Just get some cheap coilovers, it won't matter with the sweet body kit.
