What are you trying to acheive? Great Cornering? Coilovers are the ultimate in the street performance mods, corner like a roller coaster.

Strip the entire thing down to bare and spot weld the whole chassis to reduce flex and increase rigidity

Add a roll cage and weld the doors shut. No more flex!

So it's not even on stiffer springs? Start with the basics first before diving into the deep end. And what do you mean "best to spray my car?"
Best, strip it down, have it rubbed, painted, cleared and then the dust sanded out and polished, all removable panels prepped off the car

i would agree on the king lows for a reasonable ride with a 22 month toddler. Car would look pretty good at that height too without too much issues with scrapage...

id save the 4-5 grand you will end up spending for a decent candy apple red respray, and use it elsewhere. really not worth your money considering the car

Please do not think im being rude altera...because im not, but it would be a matter of opinion....these "show" cars arent really worth it...its just a car....but to the owners it is worth it cause they are their life! Regardless if its a new VE clubby like the one here or a TF Magna, or a 1970's model car.....there will always be a car that someone has that will be worth so much to them, and to others its "just a car" what i want is to have a car that oinstead of people sitting there and saying oh its just a magna...they sit there and go WOW what a magna....but hey thats me....

i understand your passion with your car ,passion that i also have with mine and just about every other member on this forum,i should stop analyzing your situation and say just go for it, but realistically with the basic mods that you have listed you are looking at about 7-8 grand, on a car that is not a show car just a run about in reality, just think wisely before spending i am sure your a smart girl, think of the children.....

Candy Apple Paint will cost $10k.. You wont find anyone to do it for much less. A normal painter just cant paint it, It needs to be done by someone who knows how to do it, Its not just one colour or layer of paint. Its multiple layers and colours..

i totally understand, but ill leave my side of the story to doctor phill/oprah.
glad you can still be positive, on another note, hurry up and lower your car for god sakes....

if you were closer to sydney i could fix your sliding speaker problem but somehow i dont think the fiancee will like me fixing random womens cars.
look for some L brackets at bunnings and tech screws i am sure you can work out what to do with the rest...
