The point of modding a car is not to down grade, its to make it better than b4. Are you willing to just throw a bunch of cheap parts on that will most likely fail? Might as well get some good lowering springs and call it a day.

well save up and get some bc coils. for 1000 you cant beat it, i had springs on my second g and hated it...they lasted about 2 weeks before i ordered coils lol. actucally i have seen 2 pairs of bc coils in the forums go for under 500 in the last month so if you watch the marketplace you can pick up a set cheap

What springs and camber kits?!?

Ok so I'm looking for some used xoilovers but if I can't find any I'm going to get some springs and camber kits. What springs will give me a good 2 inches? I read about using 350z springs for a bit lower and h& rs are good? What camber kits? I'm on a budget so yeah /:...... Btw if you are selling used coil overs let me know!
Thanks everyone in advance
-Alex

If your looking for first mods for your g, get plenum spacer and up rev. And test pipes also. You won't regret it when you see the difference it makes

getting tuned with just those two mods isnt worth it at all imo.
