No i dont think they are.. Ya it has the 3.0 V6. It already has a nice dual exhaust on it, and some different springs.. The dealership is giving me a box of stuff he took off when he put the new things on, and there were 4 stock springs.. He also has a front strut bar on it.. I like the car, it handles great... It is just as much fun to drive (handling wise) as my eclipse... The guy also added two tone heated leather seats in it.. Ill take some more pictures of it tomorrow when I bring it home and get it in the daylight...

nice, the seats sound like the ones that come stick in the Speed6! those things are pretty impressive also. yea my friend has a suspension monster lol it easily hangs w/ my friends EVO VIII around the turns. it is an extremely fun car to drive. i thought about getting one a while back. my friend is currently building his bottom end with forged pistons (8.5:1), eagle rods, clevit rod bearings (worst part of stock bottom end in these), and main bearings. then all he has to do is bolt his gt3072 turbo on there along with his other goodies and he'll be good to go. not sure about your plans for the car but let me forwarn you about nitrous on those things! they do NOT like nitrous! my friend has told me about 6 or 7 ppl that have blown their engine with spray. it's aparently b/c of the way the intake manifold was built.

Ya.. This is really my "family" car.. AKA my wifes car really.. I have to get my eclipse paid off fully but once I get that done, then I might stick a little money into it, otherwise its just gonna be little things that just make it look good.. Im not going for a speed demon.. This is hopefully gonna be my dependable car
