1. Budget?

2.What most important to you?
Corner carving, Drag racing, street manners.

3. Lower a little, a lot, or not at all?

1. 400-500$

2. Street manners and a little of both would be great but if not possible drag racing, but if i went that way would my cornering suffer (and other way around)

3. Not much at all if any.

Thanks

Blake.

Let me know when you get ready!

I would pass on the STB, I could not tell it was on the car or not. SFCs you can feel!
With that budget I would start with the LCAs and PHR, if lowered add the relocation brackets. And either make or buy the SFCs and see where you are then.
Could also do the poly bushings on the stock sway bars and end links b/c things are old now....
From there the upgrades get more expensive, Torq Arm, Shocks and Springs might be next, or sway bars, just depends on what you are experiencing and trying to 'fix'.
