I honestly think I’m going to leave the car the way it is. I’ll install the roller rockers and get the exhaust done come spring, but other than that she’s good.

Been doing LOADS of reading lately and I may just drop on Megan Coilovers instead of Tein springs. Evidently, they are made in the same warehouse as some of the other better brands but are priced differently, etc. Cost difference is about $500 (springs + labor to install vs coilovers and do it myself as it’s 10x easier)…but should come out better.

I’d say right now…about a 6.

Scratch that. BC Racing Coilovers.

They are basically Megan’s on steroids (both are made by BC). More sturdy build + slightly better quality parts. For $150 more…I’ll take it.

This is my likely choice.

Sell it, purchase G8 GXP. - Imaginary 10

What will really happen - drive balls off of it, exhaust will more than likely fall off from bottoming out in snow, a tire will probably pop, and the brakes will probably have to be replaced at some point. - Reality 10.
