Upgrading! (big pics)
Ok this is what I have in mind and the prices for each:

(4) 17" (Silver) with Yokohama Tires - $1,299.00
http://www.wheelwarehouse.com/buypackage.c...geID=51&CatID=1

Price: $580.00 Set of 4
http://www.rms2k.com/s2000_slotted_rotors.htm

Price: $1,075.00
http://www.rms2k.com/s2000_stainless_exhau...aust_system.htm

Price:$299.00
http://www.rms2k.com/s2000_springs.htm
Ok so can I get anything of equal or better quality for less money? Does anyone have an recommendations on better products? I'm really not good with wheels. My stook is yellow and I don't know if anything but chrome would look good on it, any opinions? Any help yall (Yes, I'm a Texan) can give would be greatly appreciated!

if you get those wheels definately post pics.. or roll by i'm in garland/south plano. i'd like to see what they look like on the car.. i've been thinking the gun smoke volk te37's but those look good.
I would recommend kg/mm springs, Zeal 6 slot rotors, Endless CCX brake pads. kg/mm springs are on sale.

The 17's 5ZR's won't fit since it's a one piece design ,however the 18's will fit perfectly...

Thanks for the advice, but do they have an english version? Also the second link is bad 
Grrr why not? I like that style and don't want to go to 18's if I'm going to drop the car.

what do you need to know that's in english?

skitz, if RM Racing still has the same design for their exhaust when I had it (Roughly July-August of last year), then I'd recommend staying away from it. It might have been an isolated incident w/the exhaust they shipped me, but when it came, it was nowhere near the pic on their website they were advertising.
Basically, I'm the reason why they changed their pic on their website. (at that time) the pic of the exhaust on their website looked just like an HKS Hiper exhaust (But better). After receiving the exhaust, I obviously noticed it was nowhere near the look of the pic on their website, I raised hell w/them. Their reason for me?...They haven't updated the pics on their website (The pic I saw originally on their website was just a prototype...That's been on their website ever since they released that product!). They agreed to refund all of my money and shipping, too (Since, it was false-advertisement).
Like, I said, it might have been an isolated incident w/me, however the fit & finish on it was as$ (nicks & scrapes everywhere on the exhaust & welds were done horribly uneven). Plus, the fact that it's a clamp-on design, instead of a bolt-on design didn't help, either (Personal preference).
What I recommend for around $1000 and dual outlet exhaust?...Get the HKS Hiper exhaust, it's pretty sweet. Another option is also the Neuspeed exhaust. I believe it's under $1000. I haven't seen it or heard it in person, so I can't make a comment on that part of it. However, if you're into the single outlet style (Like me), then it's a whole different story.
As for rotors go, I'd wait and hear more about those great looking rotors MG Racing has in development and see how much those Endless rotors cost from Mingster.
Springs...well, I'd go w/those kg/mm dual rates (Around a 1.3"), that company's known for their springs in Japan.
I hope that helps and no, I don't have a thing against RM Racing (I bought their dead pedal after that), it's just that I don't think it was right to have false-advertisement. If you want to see how an HKS Hiper exhaust looks like, I still have mine at home (For sale, too...wink, wink...hehe) and you could swing by to check it out. If you get any other parts, I'd love to see them in person, after you have it installed.

I'd skip the slotted rotors unless you really need new brakes and put the money saved towards your wheels and tires.
If you want an effective brake upgrade make a switch to steel braided lines, some good pads and some ATE brake fluid instead.
