isnt true for 3 things. lid, muffler, some sort of suspension. all 3 of those make a noticeable difference for the price in their own way. if the sale is still on you might be able to get umi 3 points which has great results.

Subframe connectors.. you don't want leaking t-tops if you don't have them already.

Subframe connectors....so you won't get the dreaded "dimple" on your quarter panels.

if you get a nice sticky tire under your ***, no need to worry.. of course one you start making some real power you need it.. but other than that, no need.. unless you have the cash to blow.
i would totaly agree with you,but i would recommend it if your car is 1in or more lowered like mine almost 2in,the lca angle is not in a position it should be to work properly

^don't forget to mention PHB's when lowering your car. Rear ends get offset to one side or the other when you lower it. Mine w/ Strano's was off 3/4in, now w/ my adj. PHB its closer to middle, maybe 1/16in off.
