hey

from research its not worth it.. unless u wanna go the turbo route. and 2k will only eget u like an ebay kit.,which apparently isnt reliable but u can use it as a start off kit!

just save up around 5-6k and get a b18c , pm fatboyz he wiill hook u up with a vtir b18c for around that prices installed.

cheers

spend money on good coilovers. not like you can use 400kw on the road anyway.

p.s. whats up with all these net mechanics putting their 2 cents in.
