Thanks!

Looking for opinions on what the next $1000-$1500 should be spent on...

my ideas and thoughts:

I dont like the tires that came with the car (westlake up front, nexen in rear) but they have lots of tread and while i really want a nice set of tires, i dont plan on tracking any time soon and think maybe i should wait till i NEED new tires.

wheels - i like the RPF1s or or work emotion cr cai. i also really like my stock wheels and think maybe i should just get spacers for them

suspension - i want my car just a touch lower. i dont know much about how the koni yellows or what they will do on the "lower perch" (i dont know what the lower perch is) but that might be an option
or i can go with coilovers but that might be a waste since im not going to track the car. i do enjoy weekend rides in the hills though.

audio - JL w6, amp, new speakers

lol, my favorite rim is the VR TE37's..but i like where your car is goin man


personally, as much as i enjoy RPF1's in black, i see RPF1's on too many cars, not even just the s2000 community...i get kinda put off when i see other cars that are kinda junkers with decent rims...

Maybe go with the Bilstein PSS coilovers or the KWV1 coilovers. They have all the quality of those brands without all the rebound and damping adjustability...probably be great for a DD and better than just springs. I have heard of people getting the PSSs for around $850 and they love them.

How is the ride quality with the Swift springs? That looks like a pretty nice drop. Oh, and for the after shot, had the springs settled by then?
