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.

Actually no he didn't! He went supercharged first, then went TT later after that wasn't enough juice for him.
