Default Help me spend ~$200

like the title says, my mom wants to buy me something for xmas, and i figured why not get something for my car. throw out some ideas for me to think about

i was thinking, UMI single adj lca, and then pick up the relocation brackets later but idk if i need them. my car is lower but i dont have any wheelhop issue (i think)

i was also thinking about a rear end cover/gear oil change

throw out your ideas.

it'll cost ya more than 200 for gear and oil change unless ya do it yourself, and if you have never done it before I wouldnt recommend it.

I missread what you wanted to do, I thought you were doing a gear change as well, and those can be a b*tch to get aligned so they dont whine. If its just the gear oil, its no biggie.

UMI LCAs and Relocation Brackets sounds good. Maybe a STB as well if think you don't need Relo Brackets.

No lie, forget the depreciating asset. (car) and by PepsiCo or Comcast (stock so far under break-up value that it is nuts!). Retire 5 years early and have a lake house instead of working Burger King. Of course 99% of the folks on here will mock me, but those other 6 people I convince, well, they will be chuckling in the future.

^ he has a phb already.

but i vote lca relocation brackets. going from stock to lowered launching was terrible. so was driving in the rain. some ppl don't need them but my car did. i'd take them over lca's first.

then with the rest(if you're set on spending it) get something small like a ported tb or plugs/wires or an oil change or something that you don't really wanna pay for later.

UMI is having a 20% off sale.. I asked for relocation brackets and non adjustable LCA's...you don't need adjustables IMO... you could also get some UMI SFC's...
