I have about $300 to $400 to spend and wanted to get either a few suspension mods, LCA, relocation brakets, and torque arm or 17" mickey thompson drag radials which should i get first?

i vote tires first, granted those mods do help, tires would help the most.

the lcas + brackets basically helped keep my car in a straight line while launching, even with the tires spinning. but it didnt help the spinning too much lol. plus they look cool when you are behind my car. haha.

Tires for shore, Then tune the suspension to hook the tires up. lower control arms, panhard rod, torque arm. and subframe connectors. Is what most of use start with. Then for the extreme, Shocks, coil overs, tubular k-member, upper & lower a-arms. Its mostly what you need and can to afford.
