Stanced FC project: I need your help

So recently I have come into some money and I want to pursue a project that I think will make me ultimately happy in the end. I am going to do something that receives either A LOT of hate or A LOT of respect.

Basically, I have been very blessed in my life and finally was able to sell some stuff that I wasn't using to fund this build. I'm not going to go into the details about my car but you can read about it in my build thread which is located in my signature.

THIS THREAD IS FOR PEOPLE THAT LIKE THE FITMENT/STANCE SCENE.

So lets get started. I have a four thousand dollar budget. I would just like some pointers or info on what you guys think or know from experience that would help me achieve the fitted look, (which coilovers give most freedom over camber/ride height, body pieces that look/fit good, anything to generally make the car look better). So please, feel free to comment and give me suggestions and your opinion.

Here is a recent picture of my car

Thank you. I actually bought them from a guy that owned a v8 GTU. I love the wideness and stepped lip.

coilovers, and camber adjusters for the rear. Parts by maxx has some great rear end parts and coilovers. I like ksports coilovers and are affordable.

I was looking at PBM coilovers, but I heard that STANCE coils had better camber adjustment. and yeah I was def looking at rear camber parts from PBM. My only thing is that I'm not sure about body parts because that means I'd have to get it all painted and idk if that's in the budget lol. I really wish I had a more beat up FC because I would have already slapped some overs on and be on the ground, but I just cant do that to such a clean FC lol I need to buy another one that I can do all that stuff too haha

Man your car is nice. Stance or PBM coils for sure. Whichever way you go, you'll be incredibly happy and both are more than adequate for what you're looking for.

Then for aero I'd do a front lip, factory s5 turbo sideskirts, and maybe a diffuser or bumper caps in the rear. Since you're n/a you'll have more fun dialing in the suspension on this car.. Do things that'll make the driving experience more fun like strut bars, short shifter, steering wheel.. All very realistic for 4k
