intrax, sprint, springtech, eibach, h&r.depends on the drop you want, they all average 1.75 to 2" except eibach, they drop 1 to 1.25"

CLear corners, easy and the best part is it's free.

I would personally get a body kit first, lowering is a very good mod buuuuut, you still have the overall stock look(just no gap in wheel well/tire space. Dont get me wrong lowering is a must.

If you get a body kit it will change the look completely.

Wheels are also a good choice.

But hey you'll get different answers from different folks, I'm not tryin to knock anyone elses reply

I think I will spend this weekend at least trying to do the clear corners mod. I don't think I will get to far though.

Once you get it started it will prove to be WAY easier than you think. I also was kinda not wanting to do it, thinkin i would mess up my lights.

but like i said once i got started it was pretty easy.

Also this is my personal opinion on the matter take and do with it what you will. There are certain mods that should come in order. New Wheels> Lowering Springs> Then body kit

My rasoning is I think it looks tackey when you have a body kit and stock rims and a big gap in the fender and wheel. Take your time in moding, its expensive dont jump to the end of the list and work your way up.

Just get dual exhuast, fairly cheap



dual exhaust doesnt fit. get a single in dual out muffler



dual mufflers do fit. i have dual flowmaster 40's on my car

Dual 40's is still single exhaust, and a single 80 will cost less to install than 2 40's will.
[/b][/quote]

well if u want to get technical u cant run a "true" dual exhaust on our cars. what i was saying was that i have 2 40series flowmasters on my car. so u can run 2 mufflers if u want.

and ya one 80 is gonna cost less than 2 40s.......... but the 80 also sounds like sh*t in my opinion.

He is not right.

But as far as the next mod you should do after exhaust and tint is definately IMO lowering springs. Even with a stock body and stock rims, the dropped alero looks so much better than stock. Of all my mods, it is probably my favorite mod... it is close between the springs and the SLP exhaust.

you really shouldn't be asking us how to spend your money


....but my advise, get some headers put in, new braking system, new rotors, and go to the track and see how you do
