I grew up in Norfolk, but I've spent a lot of time in SW VA (Pulaski, Blacksburg).

I like your cartoon, it says alot more than a smiley.

Anyways, I look forward to seeing your fit all personalized and such.

If you want a slight drop and a big increase in performance, the GF210's are awesome. I would not want to drop mine any more than the 1-1.5" the GF210's do since I live in CT and it's very hilly here. I'd imagine you would have similar problems in VA though not so much in Norfolk.

Get the GF210, Progress rear sway bar, and have fun on all those awesome VA backroads!

I don't live in VA anymore... I moved to Phoenix, AZ

Still, I don't want a huge drop on my car... just a little. So now I am considering the Progress, Skunk2, and GF210's...

perhaps you go low. But then after doing so you wished you went a wee bit lower.
If you get coilovers you wont need to worry.
Just my 2cents though.
Peace

OK, want little or no mods?

If you are married, just bring it up when the family budget for spending is discussed. Get all upgrades approved in writing by your spouse.

Probably something like 60-65% of all cars are modded in some way by US owners nationwide. Some cosmetic some functional.

start with the kraftwerks supercharger.. that way you'll be able to justify everything else to bring the handling in line with the engine. ie: less restrictive exhaust, better suspension.. might as well lower at the same time, lighter wheels with better tires to reduce over/understeer, sway bars and such to tighten up the handling, don't forget the short shifter kit so you stop grinding 1st to 2nd gear with 20-30 more hp from the engine/exhaust upgrades.

of course with more power and louder exhaust you'll need a better sound system to drown it out.. outside all people will here is a loud throaty growl followed by the hiss/whistle of the blowoff valve and a drowned out "thud thud thud" of your oversized sub. Inside you will be squinting trying not to hit anything because of your illegal tint on all windows and of course you can't hear sirens or car horns because of the sound system crushing your skull.

I guess I'm getting a bit carried away.. but yea.. supercharger sounds like fun.
