Boost bug

Ok guys so I got the boost bug after boosting my buddies 240 this weekend but I can't decide if I want to lower my eclipse on coilovers, boost my eclipse, or turbo my fox body... I need suggestions guys. What do y'all think I should do?

I could also buy a gsx 2g

If you can I'd say go boost. If you wanna save some money you could go nitrous first as a stepping stone and its a lot cheaper.

Boost on which car though? I got three options. I'd like to boost my 4g but so many people have had problems. And my dream car has always been a 2g gsx. But my fox body has a lot of potential!
Thanks for your imput

haha I was referring to the 4g. It's really up to you. Which one will you most enjoy it on and how much do you drive each car.

a boosted 5.0 would be hella fun and alot cheaper IMO... put 6lbs in that thing and you'd be smoking me all day. also you could probably do a rear mount setup pretty easily and keep your headers if you have any on there

I'd say boost the 4g, drive the fox body into a wall, use the insurance money to put into your 4g
