try these sites for your springs
Basically an Intake is an Intake is an Intake. there are differences and everyone is going to tell you different stories. I would go with the EVOms personally but that's just my opinion.

The CAI is already installed at the factory. Just concentrate on your other items.

| Intake AND suspension for less than $300? Likely not possible ... either alone plus installation will be more than that. |

TRue True True
I actually just put a KN drop in on mine and am totally happy with it.
As far the the blow off I can't really say. I put the forge Spacer on mine and there is no difference. I just wanted the sound (i know iknow I paid 70 bucks for sound) So if that's what your looking for there ya go. As far the the HKS kit or whatever I have no idea. Do your homework is the best answer I can tell you cuz in the long run it is your car do whatever YOU want to do with it.

Re: (ta1ent)
look around in the classifieds and wait for some good deal...i picked up some eibach pro's for $100. then, find a competent place with decent install prices, around $200. you should get a 4 wheel alignment, but if the budget is short, then you don't have to do it. just beware that the tires might wear unevenly and/or wear out quicker.

imo, the euro springs, driver gear, or eibach pro should be fine on the stock shocks.

Re: (ta1ent)
yes, there are people using stock shocks with other springs with more aggressive drops, but you may have issues with the shock wearing down quicker with a more aggressive drop. however, if you want a lower drop now, and don't mind buying shocks later (in as little as 5k, in some cases), then go ahead and do it. obviously, not saying that they will wear out very quick, just that they might.
