****** forum user. Just purchased a 94 in fair condition for cheap. Not looking to dump a bunch of money but would like to lower it and do exhaust.

That's cute.
This is what most of us thought when we bought our first one for cheap.

I'll be 50 in Dec so I remember the day when this kid must have stole it from his parents or something. Came by just smokin the tires. I have got to get one of those.25 plus years later in I finally got one. Manual too. Popping in the rear, coolant looks horrible. Probably don't have to mention the paint. Car didn't move for 5 years.
I want to lower it for 10 bucks, paint for 15, so you guys get it. Rec some mufflers that will not sound like a fart can. 40 series or something?

Search for lowering ideas in the modifications section. I think there is a dead coil or two on the stock springs you can cut. That's kinda not expensive.

I don't know of any mufflers that actually sound good so someone else will have to opine about that.

I am sure the undercarriage needs tending to with rust and really aged rubber bushings. Change all the fluids. I'm sure they have all been sitting for a long time.

Rockauto has a clearance on struts (and a bunch of other stuff) that you could use with your existing springs, look towards the end of the page. Rockauto is also sponsor here and you can use the 5% discount code. The Gabriel ultras struts were used by a member on here and he said they were fine. Fronts for $6.89 and rears for $23.79
