What is the best coilovers for right price on 95

So i just got my car im thinking about putting mods on it first im going to start with some coilovers i was thinking "k sport"But i dont have money right now because im just a highschool student can anyone tell me what a decent price coilover is with overall good performance?Also if my first mod shouldnt be the coilover then what should i get im new to the car scene help me out,thanks!

there are alot of good options for coilovers, but theyre all expensive especially for a high school student. most GOOD coilovers are going to be around a thousand. if you just want it to be lower you could get springs for a few hundred but that wont help performance, just looks. as for your first mod, it can really be whatever you want it to be, but if youre tight on cash i definitely wouldnt start with the suspension considering that the stock suspension is already decent, particularly on the vr4. but it looks like youve got a base model right?

coilovers are expensive for a first mod. personally id probably do intake and exhaust first, then start thinking about the suspension.

Megan Racing > ALL on coilovers, but I agree for a high school student coilovers are not a smart first mod.

All you need is some nice aftermarket wheels for now.

if ur just looking for a lower car look, then get springs. wheels r nice, but lowering the car really sets them off

oh yea i was thinking about an intake but im gonna get my car painted white seen and i saw these rims on the internet that looked nice so i was thining about upgrading the suspension+brakes before i get the wheels so even without a good suspension or brake kit the wheels will still be fine?

Damn you Stealthee, I was hoping to get this one. :mad:

so even without a good suspension or brake kit the wheels will still be fine?

as long as they are not to large in diameter you will be fine. i think the largest that'll fit in our wheel wells is 19" right? you really don't need 19 though. 18 is fine. hell some people even get aftermarket 17's. you also have to make sure that they clear the calipers. apparently that can be an issue, but you can get spacers for them so i guess it isnt that big a deal. spacers look nice too IMO

I've got 17's on mine. I was looking for 18's but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on these.

Can you show me a pic of what spacers are and what do they do?also i was thiking about getting these do you think they will fit my car?http://store.mrt-direct.com/22f002.html (also what is a offset,What all do i need to know when buying aftermarket rims)Sorry for all these questions im a n00b...

forgot to mention what good is a aftermarket exhaust does it make the car more gas efficient?Or just a deep growl,ha i dont know anything and what company should i go for "borla"?Also im thinking about getting a K&N air filter is airfilter and cool air intake mean the same thing?

Those should fit with no issue. Usually NA's don't have to worry about spacers. Its TT's that might need them because of the large calipers.

whats TT's,and NA's?

TT's are Twin Turbos and NA's are Naturally Aspirated aka a SL or base (or anything without any type of forced induction beit supercharged or turbocharged).

Thanks for the clearing up can you answer my other questions at the top and in your sig it saids "K&N FIPK" what is a fipk?and a NGK,Greddy type s BOV?

K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kits (FIPK)
okay nvm i know what it is so that just means you have a regular K&N air filter?or whats the difference

FIPK is just CARB approved so its emissions legal.

FIPK is just CARB approved so its emissions legal.

So whenever i order my K&N i tell them i want the FIPK?Also how much did it cost you and did you instal yourself or a shop?

Unless you have strict emissions you can save a ton of money and just get a K&N conical filter and adapter.

The FIPK is ~$170 and is just an oval filter with adapter. You can get a conical filter and adapter for around $60.

What is NGK,Greddy type s BOV?
So how i check do i need to call my Texas emision company?And how come u got the FIPK your state strict?Sorry for all these question i just need clearing up before i do something because i dont want to fuck up and spend alot of money trying to fix it

NGK is a spark plug brand, a Greddy Type S BOV (blow off valve) is an aftermarket BOV that releases pressure between shifts in order to preserve your turbos in short. It generally makes a whistle/fluttering sound depending on how much boost you are pushing between shifts. You have a stock BOV that is quiet but it is notorious for leaking boost especially when trying to hold more than stock boost beit 9 or 12 psi.

He doesnt have ANY BOV because he is NA. ;)

:lol: I was just explaining what it was. Damn, such a harsh mod! :D

No one still answered m question... what does a aftermakret exhaust do and what company is best bang for the buck? does a cool air intake and air filter mean the same thing?

If you want a true cold air intake you need to run a pipe that runs down near the front bumper where it recieves fresh air. However, I would not bother with that as intakes do not do a whole lot for our cars. On the other hand, they are a good basic upgrade to go with when you just strap on a cheap filter. Hmmm, you own a NA. I know IPS makes a real cheap single shot that reduces a fair amount of wait and is real cheap (for the TT I know it is about $380 or so, not sure if they make one for the NA). If you are looking to go for exhaust I would get a downpipe that eliminates the front precat and main cat and then gut the rear precat. If you want to go beyond that just get a cheap stock TT exhaust from someone on 3si who is selling theirs. That would be plenty good for the NA models. If you don't want to go that far just get a test pipe which eliminates the main catalytic converter and gives the exhaust a nice tone along with freeing up some of the restriction. Along with that, a test pipe is dirt cheap.

offset is the distance from the hub to the centerline. Offset varies because makers use different width axles, or (in the case of 3s TT's) they need brake caliper clearance, and need to center the tread width in the middle of the fender opening so the tire won't rub.

regarding the exhaust, a catback really wont get you much extra power, just different look/sound. the main benefit would really be weight loss, but that would only be noteable if you get a single shot. test pipes are a good idea unless you have to do emmissions. i'm not sure how texas plays that game.

also, for future information, THESE (http://www.3sx.com/store/comersus_viewItemBundle.asp?idProduct=26591) are spacers, but as previously mentioned you shouldnt need them for an NA unless you get rims with a crazy low offset

full intake pipe kit i think, ngks r plugs and wires and the greddy bov is his blow off valve

haha man i suck at this you lost me at,but thanks for clearing stuff up what is a cat?

Thanks for clearing it up but yea man uhm i posted a link of which rims i want to get and the offset is 35mm,What is a hub and centerline i looked it up but its still not making sence can you put in your own words?

Haha i just saw some vids on a test pipe i dont want my car sounding like that i guess ima go with a TT exhaust =] do they sound good?Can i get some links

cat is short for catalytic converter. its a piece in the exhaust system that just burns up extra stuff that gets missed during combustion, so that it isnt released into the atmosphere.

the hub-centerline thing is pretty simple. the hub is the part that bolts on to the wheel studs. the centerline is just what it sounds like, the middle of the wheel (like width-wise). thusly a low offset would mean that the hub is closer to the centerline. i hate to bring it up but a good example is the rx7 in tokyo drift. a high offset is what the TT guys need to get past the calipers. got it? the rims that you had on that link should fit fine. if you need to see it, here (http://www.kgm.tiwing.com/calcs/img/offsetdiagram2.jpg) is a pretty good diagram. the 'bolt circle' is the hub. those rims had a positive 35mm offset, so the hub is 35mm forward of the centerline. a negative offset would mean the hub is behind the centerline leaving a huge lip. like that rx7.

as for the TT exhaust,
here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX2gC9z6KxQ) is the stock exhaust
here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0gJjegeBWA) is my single shot

I like the single shot now i dont really want the TT exhaust

well they can be had pretty cheaply. i got mine from IPS and their base price is around $300. mine ended up being closer to 6 but thats just cuz of the HKS canister. that stuffs pricey. i'm not sure if they make em for the NA's though, but i'm sure you could get one customed up. the only difference would be the pipe diameter.

:lol: I was just explaining what it was. Damn, such a harsh mod! :D
The kid is already a little confused due to his newness. I just didnt want him getting confused because you did say "YOU have a stock BOV"

In that statement I would have read you as he (the OP). ;)

I have a N/A Maximal Peformance single shot with 3sx stainless steel test pipe for sale.

$200 + shipping. I'll also include a polished intake arm free.

If you're interested, let me know. It will make your car sound SERIOUS.
