Hey guys! ive been searching for a new car to start my P's on and i just couldnt walk past the *E7*'s! so after quite a while of searching around i managed to grab this beast off an old man and i must say, im quite happy with how it is!

My dad says i should just keep it original and factory, the way it is, me on the other hand, i sort of agree but at the same time i was thinking maybe a good lowering job and a set of nice rims. So i just wanted to know, what should i do guys and how should i do it?

thats exactly what i was thinking! how would i lower it if i was to do it? i want a proper job that wont be hard to change back to stock and something not too expensive.

leave it original and store it for many years - re-sell in 10 years time = PROFIT

on the other hang your car do what you want with it

If you plan on driving it hard a set of proper shocks is a must. On the other hand if you just want to lower it for looks, hit up the wreckers for some Falcon springs and cut to desired length, should be able to lower it a reasonable amount while keeping the springs captive. However if you do plan on lowering it more than an inch some shorter shocks would be recommended. For wheels something like a 14x7 with a 0 offset is a good rim choice to keep the police happy. Otherwise something like a 14x8 or 15x8 would look better but you risk the chance of being defected. The twin cam 4AGE engine bolts in with minor work so if you get tired of the low power it's a reasonably cheap option. Feel free to PM if you have any further questions :))

great advice mate!; i think i might do the falcon spring method on it, and nah i dont think more an inch :/ yeah probably 14x7 should be nice and cheap, i want a set of wheels under about $700 with wheels :/ and nah not 4age, just gonna cruise this out

MA61 wheels are a nice option. Can get them for about $400 a set
