There's my j-body
I bought the car with the stripes on it...
It's almost stock. When I bought it all the lights where tinted...
So I put some OEM tail lights, clear front flashers and clear corners.
For the moment I only have a better then stock audio system.
Headunit Alpine CDA-9847 CD/MP3/WMA
Infinity 4x6 reference series 2 way speakers
Canton 6x9 3 way speakers
Canton crossovers
My project for next summer :
Ecotec swap
Eibach pro kit coilovers 1.4" drop
Koni red or yellow shocks
Mags (silver, black or gun metal)
215/45/17 tires
Better brakes in the front
Rear disc brake conversion
Maybe sway or/and strut bars
Maybe a short shifter
Long term project :
Hahn RaceCraft Stage 1 turbo kit
a good intercooler
custom intercooler piping
Quaife LSD
Better clutch and flywheel
Latter I'll see what I'm gonna do for the interior and the exterior.
I'll try to keep it clean. Sleeper style.
I'll keep it all black.
I don't know if I'll put a body kit... I'll see for that too...
I'll took the stripes off

About your suspension setup question, first figure out how low you want to be and how much you're willing to spend. Also, do you want coilovers, springs or air ride? That plays into it as well.

what is the difference between coilovers and spings?
I want it around 1.5" drop
Not too much...
And the money don't matter. I want it stiff.
street and track as most as possible...

^^I suggest ground control coilovers with koni struts. One of the best combos I have heard of. Plus you have the adjustability.

Coilover and springs do the same thing but the only difference is in spring rates & coilovers allow you to adjust your cars height. Finding a quality coilover setup is the hard part. Jbody2nr suggested ground controls which are good but there are others out there as well, you just have to do your research.
Stay away from "no name" suspension setups. Also remember, when you lower your vehicle that upgrading your struts/shocks is CRITICAL and effect your ride quality.
Hope that helped you some...anymore questions?

So, my j-body have shocks and struts?
Do I need to change all of them if I lower it?
Thank you
