i got progress springs lowering, i got an ebay front strut, and went w/the dc rear from modern performance. def. a big improvement on highway exit/enter ramps. i also got 17s that are an inch or two wider than the original tires and that made a huge difference in riding smoothness in itself.

here in maryland we have emissions test every year, after what the original factory warranty covers, but even still you have to bring it in to have them plug there machine up to it. they hook ur front wheels up to the treadmill type rollers, and put a pipe w/a cone up to ur exhaust. then accelerate.
