LT's vs. wheels
 

im stuck...... i want a performance mod and i want an appearence mod just as much. i have a red 98 t/a and i was looking at black zr1 wheels. i was also looking into gettin pacesetter LT's, TSP y-pipe which i could get and have installed for under 900$. the wheels i found are 900$...... what would you guys do? im going to let ya'll make up my mind for me!

I would rather have all go and no show. I'm voteing for power. Did you think about doing the LT's you self and putting the install money to your rims.

Longtubes. :nod:

The ZR1's will actually slow you down.

$900? Coated pacesetters and TSP ORY is only $500 last I checked, and install can easily be done yourself on jack stands with basic hand tools. Add in a basic tune or O2 sims and O2 extensions and that's it. Do you already have a cat-back? Where are you located? You could probably get somebody to help you install them for a lot less than a shop would charge.

i was going to pay 250$ for install....... so u think i coudl install them my self pretty easy withought a lift? i have some ramps i can put the car on..... what all else would i need for the header install besides header, y-pipe, and cats (have to run cats) and im going to invest in the locking header bolts. and last but not least...... i have rumbler exhaust, how will this setup sound all togeather? will it be too raspy? will it make it a lot louder?

LT's :cheers:

You might end up coming on here asking how to either quiet your exhaust down or get rid of the rasp. Cats will go a long ways towards making it sound good, but some still end up buying a different muffler to weld into the I-pipe, like a borla XR1.

Install can be done yourself. You will probably need a nice jack and stands to get the front end even higher. You have to get the car pretty high. Do a search for header install, there should be a link or two to good writups.

i love zr1s but longtubes first
