"Grandmas" do not drive coupes, in any case.

suspension is mod 101

replace your shock and spring, which will cost you roughly aobut $500-700 dollars. the ride will feel dramtically different and no longer feel like a grand mom's car. and you can use the rest of money to buy wheels or stereo modificaiotn

The best way to thank us would be to NOT put a fart cannon on your car.

haha hadnt planned on it.... just a couple more questions....

is their a huge difference between the tein and eibach lowering springs.... it seems that the Eibach run for a bit higher then the tein.

coilovers are MUCH stiffer and will give you a canyon carver.... anyway thanks for being a part of the forum, we look forward to seeing your car progress!

OMFG!!! Too Funny!!!!!

stainless --

There is not much difference between the tein and eibach lowering springs... I do not know the rated drops on them off the top of my head, but google can help you with that...

G/L with your modding.

you will go far, my young padawan (spelling?)

yeah you should do a drop man, and get an RSB if you can find it. best first mods you should do IMO. whatever it is that you'll do to the lara, im sure it'll be nice as heck

I would say something, but I think everyone covered the essentials

GOODLUCK with trying to figure out what to get

Wow! You guys pulled it together on this thread. Way to welcome the newcomer. Hopefully you got your questions answered man. Good Luck

I agree with you... Apocalypto's ride is oh so sexy

for springs go with teins. it gives u a more aggressive stance since the front will be lower than the back. eibachs makes ur car look like a frog. the front will be higher than the back

Stainless.... (Shouldn't you be in a DELOREAN?)

Seriously... W-E-L-C-O-M-E ! ! !

You have found a very good home for your Solara modding future...

Take your time. I drove mine 50,000 miles before the first mod!

Then I joined this place and WENT NUTS!

Honestly speaking, if you have two large to spend like you said... you will go FAR with even just the first few essential mods, and then build on that.

Just for reference, I am wearing 17's, and I'm QUITE happy with them. They are (aprox.) $2000 rims I paid under $500 brand new. I gained what I consider SUBSTANTIAL power with TRD exhaust and CP-e for about another grand. A couple hundred for RSB, and a couple more for FRONT STRUT TOWER BAR, and a couple hundred for the TRD spring drop. Do the math, that's about two large right there. (Less some labor, granted...)

Enjoy your ride, man... you ain't no granny 'round here. :wink:
