It sounds like you have more ambisions of going straight than learning to cut corners, so get what best fits what you will be doing with the car. By choosing something in between, you will just be selling yourself short on whichever one you want to do more. There are good in between ones, but for how much money you are dishing out for stuff, its better to buy the right stuff the first time around, then loosing money into something you will just get rid of later.<br /><br />If you were patient, save up go coilovers. The best way to set a car up for anything. My $.02 <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
