I don't have any haha

yeah i would like to take it down the 1/4 mile. I'm not big on going fast just simple things like a cold air intake if that helps.

I did find out that my rims are also after market and i have bridgestone potenza tires on it. I'm not sure what the previous owner has done to the car.

Basically he put bridgestone potenza tires on it with after market 18inch rims, borla exhaust and window tint. The dealership said there MIGHT be a chip in it. Not sure though, or they may be wrong or vice versa. I am not sure if the previous owner did anything to the engine.

Would not really worry about a intake, just try to get it lower.

I'd recommend sway bars, end links and springs + shocks or coilovers... depending on your budget.

Get coilover springs, and lower the gap between the tire and fender. will make your car look much better.

... it looks like the stock height, based on the pics that you've posted. I've never heard of anybody complaining about rubbing issues with lowering springs, unless you plan on getting wider tires + lower offset.
