Well i was thinking new wider wheels(I have 96 cobra wheels). How wide can I go with cobra wheels without looking bad? Mybe I should just get nitto drag tires. And I want to got coilovers, what type should I get, I want the car to dig hard with street tires and still maintain good handiling on the street??

you can fit a P275 tire on those Cobra rims. Which is about as wide as you can go with a fox body without having to hit stuff with a hammer.

For 1K I say go with a good set of aluminum heads

I second the motion! Try to score a set of TFS twisted wedge heads! Nothing compares to that in terms of pure umph!

Ya, i would love to get the heads but i did all the math for it and including the cam, gaskets, intake.timing chain, ect its about 2,000 + $$$ besides I am planing to get the d.s.s pro bullet 306 long block In about a little bit. So I am going to get new 03 cobra wheels w/ 275 nittos. One qeustion is what lowering springs will drop my car the most?? Pics would be good to. thanks

On second thought, I changed my mind. Do a do-it-yourself Twin Turbo setup

I have heard of a lot of people building them for under 1K

i used eibach sportlines and its about as low as youd ever need if you went with coilovers you could pick the height i found the best price for the sportlines on ebay from cj's pony parts this low though and you will deff need a bumpsteer kit
