lulz FTW.
hehe.
ace all the coilover and fender rolling stuff.
Once you get to 400 whp youll be hooked and youll also need the car to be driveable. getting sideways at 75 mph is a blast if your car is ready for it.
if your car is ricer low, youll end up crashing it. Low is nice, but not so low and cambered that the car doesnt handle.
Id say getting the blower on, with clutch, tune, and all the correct parts/labor for 400 whp is gonna run through money pretty quick. Good coilovers will cost you 2k plus. and unless you plan on track racing it and or having someone corner balance it, its money wasted.
Just giving thoughts as youve asked. As ive built a warehouse full of these cars. And every clients vision of the car changed just as soon as they drove it at 400 whp.
looks and flash stops mattering. It becomes, how much power can i apply on the street, what tires do i need and how often will i have to replace them...and on and on.

over course i dont want ricer low just a good aggressive stance. yea my views might change but as of right now im just trying to get ideas ive seen plenty of setups i like. I like the rolled fender look a lot. my car will be mainly street driven. I might take it to the strip everyonce in awhile. Just a good streetable car. Im into drifting a little aswell. but this car will be a daily driver and go to shows. I will start making a list so anything you guys like that has worked for you on your car let me know so i can take that into consideration and anything you dont like as well.

If your budget is tight, and I mean between 5-6k no more go SC and call it a day. You also need to be able to do your own work it you want to go turbo and have limited funds. Not to say you can't afford something you want but a full blown turbo set up is close to 7-8k and closer to 10k if you have the work done at a shop.
