Before you even begin to ask questions, to a ton of searches on this website to try to get some sort of basic understanding of what the different options are and what all the terminology and parts are (i.e. what and where an upper control arm is, etc) It's really not that hard to pick up on all that stuff, and once you have more specific questions, it is alot easier to find out what you wanna do. I started modifying my first car when I was about your age,too, and it takes alot of money...so just like muzikman said, you need to find a job. It gets addicting btw. If you just want a small lift that doesnt take alot of extra modification, get the daystar or AC lifts with the shackles. good luck.

edit: and unless you have a fully qualified person who knows about cars, do not even try to install it yourself...take it too a shop.
