The thing that makes me keep getting the show stuff is the fact that my car won't have a better chance of something breaking. And I don't have much downtime on the car since its my dd. I want to do a h/c swap but the down time would be about a week where a koni/strano setup would be a day. And i wouldn't have to rebuild my tranny to handle more power

making your car look better is never a bad thing 11s is pretty much about it lol id go for new wheels and lowering and more power may be wheels aren't that expensive and will change how the car looks.

If I add more power, I'm affraid of the stock 10 bolt killing it self. I don't have money for a new built rear end. But I also hear a stock 10 bolt can last a long time behind a auto.

appearance mods don't require upgrading other things. they are one in itself. go fast mods usually require upgrading other parts to handle the new power in some sort of fashion. I did all appearance mods first on my car and then modded the engine. just my opinion though.

We could have done that last night Andy. But there were way to many cops out. They were pulling over every one. Drug dog even messed up Codys car.
