    Your not gonna be able to get much ICE for 300 notes so probably lower it on a decent set of springs and shocks. Remember and budget your increased insurance into the equation though.

    G-max are only bout £210 brand new so i'd probs go for a new kit for the extra bit that they are!
    but yeah id go for shocks and springs or rims first, after all rims make a big difference to the cars image

    lower with a good 2nd kit,not gmax,
    nice rear box,
    then rims if you wanna go bigger or better,
    then ice,
    then on home there....

    or do what you want to,how you want to,

    being serious though i would lower it first and keep the wheels you got for now and upgrade your front speakers (you dont have to do everything at once remember)

    if you can aswell get it colour coded, always makes the car look smarter - got any pics of it btw?
