Also looking for next mods, suspension? Alright guys, I'm getting my T/A back in about a week and though I just finished a round of mods and haven't even driven it the bug has already bitten me for a little more.
I have:
SLP CAI
!AIR!
!EGR!
!A/C!
MSD blaster coil
MSD 8.5 wires and protect-o-boots
NGK TR55 plugs
New GM Opti
CSR EWP and relay warning kit
Samco radiator hoses
Manual fan switch
PCMForless tune
Hooker ceramic coated LT's
ORY and Moroso spiralflow bullet dumped
Prothane motor mounts & Energy suspension tranny mount
Relocated the battery to the back
M/T DR's on seperate rims
Now I don't have anything in the way of suspension. My torque arm is prolly all shot to hell b/c I looked at it and the mount was broke and the arm was a bit twisted
So I was thinking first step should prolly be an adjustable tq arm, k-member, and new a-arms. What do you guys think?

Sounds good. I might be looking into a line lock too b/c I hate rolling in the lane. I have an ABS unit that I'll be swapping out my failing stock one and I figured I could do 2 at once.

Welp I took out the A/C a couple of years ago when I put it in the garage and got a DD. Now that I don't ever really drive it I figure it will only see night and track duty sooooo who needs cool air
Definitely think I want to start with a tq arm and some new shocks (QA1's anyone) b/c my old decarbons have crapped themselves.

there is a VERY easy spot to do that just underneath the PCM.
If you pull out the PCM and bracket for it, and look at the firewall, there is a factory spot where the harness goes through...most people run theit amp power wire through this spot as well. It goes straight into the underside of your dash.
This is how I wired up my fan switch as well...simple, easy to find, and very little work.

ok, I am hijacking an old thread...
I am planning on doing my suspension next. Want to know what order to do it in, and who is the best person to get them from (price and quality). I am thinking about starting with the LCAs and an on car adjustable pan hard bar. After that some SFCs... Am I headed in the right direction since I am NOT looking to drag race, I just want a good street car that will EVENTUALLY turn into an autocross car?
Is there any real benefit to having a strut tower brace in terms of suspension? I am thinking that adding it will look nice and maybe be good for hanging the headers to do other chores, but is there any real value in it besides that?
