True enough, but a lot of guys don't want to drop heavy cash on lowering. As crazy as that sounds to you haha.

For me springs are fine for now but inevitably I will get coilovers. But a lot of guys will never get coils.

And occasionally Tein basics show up here and on my350Z for $500ish plus shipping. Steal for coils!

I totally understand. To be honest, if a person is happy with their ride height after springs and doesn't want to change, I'd recommend getting Tokico D-specs for that dampening adjustment (if they want). Main reason coils are needed is to adjust the height. If that's not of concern, really don't need em.

I have to agree the drop 'n rims was the first thing that made me feel like my sedan was truly modded (well, maybe aside from the short-lived Stillen exhaust). But since that wasn't one of your choices, coupe middy and HKS FTMFGDW. Maybe for 4 bills you can swing a coupe mid (sounds great with your 04 stock muffler) and plenum spacer OR Stillen/JWT cold air intake.

When do you plan to purchase so I know if it's enough time to give you an idea how my exhaust will sound (it will be similar, not the same since I have a coupe midpipe and Kinetix non-resonated test pipes).

HR Y pipe, plenum spacer no thicker than 1/2", high flow cats, rev up airbox.

Buy used and you'll stand a chance at being under $400. The cats will put you over probably.

But this has been discussed at length more than once.
