seeing your still young, just lower it and add some 17's. teen's and power adders always add up to speeding tickets.

1-H&R Sport Springs
2-Gears
3-A tuner(SCT Xcal II)

The Springs to make it look better.The gears for better acceleration and the feel of a whole different car and the tuner to adjust some things and a little more power.

Ahhh you added your mod's and a pic to your sig.You should be fine with 17x9's and lowering it.Just don't go over a 1.5 drop and you should be fine.Ask Cuban about the gear's on a V6.I don't want to lead you into the wrong gear.

Aww thanks buddy. A basic rule of thumb on our cars goes 3.73's for 5-speeds and 4.10's for autos. But if you are worried about mpg and drive a lot of highway miles you might want to consider 3.73's even if you have an auto.

I would go with H&R's or C springs. And yea exhaust is a good idea.

I'm guna have to say H&R's they are amazing...and for exhaust I have Spintech Side Exhaust and I think it sounds better then any Flow Through exhaust system for a V6...without LT's and a mid pipe you won't get enough outa FLowmasters or Mac's... THe SPintechs sound great...i got links in my sig to my vids, if ya wana see, I got another video i just posted of my driving around, they sound pretty good, Never expect a GT roar but atleast a lil V6 thunder...

Spintech makes a good exhaust for the V6 and so does magnaflow but if you are wanting to get it for cheap go on ebay and get a GT takeoff.
