lowering springs?
may be difficult to source, but i think Mr Fixables may be able to help u here.
he has or can get lowering springs that are extremely difficult to get...

couple that with a decent set of shocks, and probably upgrade your bushings to polyurethane.

these should give the car some handling to better control the extra power.

and this should be a priority - to UPGRADE YOUR BRAKES.

u now have a faster engine in your car, the stock brakes will not be enough.
dont quite know the options for the b12, but the braking system from the b13 beast should be sufficient if it can fit..

go with the lowered springs, cuz if u go to cut dat, dize real bouncing the car go give u considering the amount of speed the car has. meh partner have a SR20 and dropped his car but he heat the springs and lower it. although the spring wud be weaker but it rides gr8. if u have $$$$$$$, get lowered springs.

Make sure you put discs in the back too, you might even want to try swapping out your stock 13" rotors for some 14's or even 15's. Gives you a lot more stopping power, plus I pretty sure you not running 13" rims right? :mrgreen:
