So ive been working on this for a few months now. But my goal was to have updated front end suspension and have my car sitting low. So far ive achieved , new lower control arms, new bushings , and coilovers are due in about two weeks. As for my rear end suspension i need a few ideas, as to what to do. I want a solid ride with performance handling :) Dont we all!
Also my next project is my m42 engine:(
Im sad to say its crap but i dont like following the curve of everybody else with a swap. So the engine stays. With that said I need some CREATIVE CRAZY ideas. :D

while turbo's and cams are not the most creative...they sure can boost your power up some. Ever consider a tune? You could also try porting out your heads.
I'm just curious, what kind of coilovers did you choose?

Ive thought about boosting, and a turbo , but all the turbo kits for my car are ebay crap :( Porting Heads??? Dont you have to boost the car before you can get it tuned? And raceland ultimos :)

You can get a tune for a stock car or a heavily modded car, the more mods you have the more power you take advantage of with a tune based on your mods, porting the HEAD will yield minimal gains on a stock car, it may even hurt performance. Best bang for your buck for power is a supercharger, a proper turbo set up is big bucks. You won't see much more then 210 hp on that motor.

Will do!!! Ive read some really good reviews on them so Im hoping for the best hah. And you really cant beat 433$ and that includes shipping.

Yes but the problem is there are no straight bolt on kits that are good. So everything will have to be individually bought and pieced together which I would be scared to attempt because I dont know if it would all piece together and work properly.
