Pretty tough, man. I've felt your pain.

I probably made it sound worst than it is. My mom just got a bit sad because of financial circumstances at the moment. She just had a baby recently so she doesn't work and I have to use part of the money from school/house/ and car payments to buy the shocks and struts. She's ok with it now. She also says that I shouldn't put money into a car that I will sell in the future .

Yeah, when it comes to resale value, modifications don't help at all. I've already accepted the fact that nobody cares about my personal preferences. They want to buy that car as close to new and original as possible.

At least you've gone with better shocks & struts. Should be a quick and painless installation, and I don't think you'll even need alignment done.

So I've gone with most people's advice and stuck it out with just a 1.5" drop all around. It will take some getting used to, and I hope it hasn't fudged the roll couple much. Not like I'll be able to feel or measure it.

We'll see how that @$$hole Old Man Winter treats me this year, before I adjust anything else. I plan on a rear sway, then a short shift, probably in spring '15. Anything else afterwards will be simply for driver comforts, like a tint and low powered sub to complement the stock audio system. I do not expect this car to be a looker, EVER.

Thanks for coming to see the thread, everyone. Makes me feel special.
