$500 to spend...

So I've got $500 to spend on the coupe right now..car is pretty much stock. I was originally go with 350z H-tech drop/springmount mod/SPC rear camber, but now I'm thinking if I should just save up for a set of rims before the drop.

WHAT TO DO?!?! Drop vs. Wheels.

well with 500$.. you have about 1500-2500 to save for wheels.. but i would go with a drop first if those are your only two options..

yea but maybe I can roll with wheels but without a drop for awhile...

its a harder decision cuz I'm looking at the M45 sport rims..and if I keep the money right now..I'll be able to get those in a few months...

500...might as well save another 2k or so...depends on what kind of rims you wanna get...if you want hp and sound...go MD 5/16 spacer and ztube/popcharger for the money youll send on those should gain some good HP and sound... and if you have any left over get some springs too...or save up anoter 200 or so and get some tein basics

500$ is not alot when it comes to suspensions for our cars. If I were you I would get a z-tube, some type of intake(Stillen, JWT, Injen), and a 5/16'' spacer. It will give you a nice power boost for the price.
