This thread is REALLY bad. When I first started reading it I thought how do these people spend this much money. Then I started to think about what I have bought and what I am going to buy and it adds up really quickly.
Purchased:
Swift springs - 300
What I am going to buy very soon:
New Struts w/ everything - 750
New Tires - 600
New Rims - 600
Total: 2250
CRAP! I have only had the car for 5 months. I felt better about it when I didn't think about the total.
