Well I'm not a crazy driver, ex: not taking corners at ludacris speed etc, and normally I drive like a sane person. I mainly gun it on striaght aways, so the handling doesn't appeal to me too much, except for the lowering srings, cause this beast just sits way to high. I think I'm leaning toward the muffler, but my mind hasen't been made up completely. That or I'll but a wine fridge. :drinking: OOooo!! I'll buy a wine fridge for my Cristal and mount it in the car!

Don't get springs without struts. Performance springs will wear the stock struts faster than performance struts. I say save up and go for the spring/strut combo. You can install everything in one shot, and you get looks and performance.
This is the space where I should write something witty or clever, hoping to show some personality.

I agree....

You can get the Tein Springs for about $165.00 and get the TRD struts from Mark aka Krazyazn. I think his listed price was $225.00 or somthing like that. You would have to contact him. Thats $390.00, If you are mechanically inclined you will be able to do the install yourself..or just save up about $200.00 and get it installed by professionals.

TRD RSB, Lowered with trd Struts its the best way to go for daily driving while giving you the satisfied look for you car...
