My friend picked up a set of Tein Basics for his NB, and that made WORLDS of difference. Pick up a second hand set and profit. That and good tires.
Edit: Other than the little cancer spots, that looks really clean.
Once again, that is my neighbor Chaz's new ride. Lately he's been going between that, and a Carrera GT. I really want to get a peak into his full garage and see what all is going on in there.
