Well, if your sig is correct, you are running a stock car correct? I would say maybe save it. I mean, there isnt much you could get. You would want to stay away from a engine mod now, since it will be a waste in the long run. Maybe go for a short shifter, or start on your suspension by getting some springs?

I say go with an interior mod. maybe get some new speakers, or some other audio equipment. I would use it for insurance personally.

I have a question for kbslacker. If he puts the new springs on there, wont that kill his struts? Cause I wanted to do that to my car, but my friend told me that the stock struts wouldn't handle it.

Eventually the stock shocks will blowout since the lowering springs have a higher spring rate than the stock springs. Coilovers are even worse on the stock shocks.

Cause after I drop in the new engine, I will probably lower the car. And I was thinking of using either tokico or koni struts with ground control. I wanted to use Apexi but they don't make true coil overs for my car.
