Is this fair?
Hell, I talked to a cop for 45 minutes about my mods...half are illegal...he didnt give 2 *****. I have blacked out taillights, blacked out turn signals, blacked out side markers, over the limit window tint, no CAT, and he said as long as I wasnt acting a fool he didnt care, he thought my car was nice lol
I would go with...
CE193-2 COMP ENGINEERING SHOCKS PAIR
UMI2012 1982 - 2002 GM F-Body Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets - Bolt-In
UMI2015 1982 - 2002 GM F-Body Tubular Non-Adjustable Lower Control Arms
UMI2001 1993 - 2002 GM F-Body Tubular Subframe Connectors - Weld-In
UMI2005 1993 - 2002 GM F-Body Shock Tower Brace
OED7855P QA1 FRONT SHOCK 12 WAY ADJUSTABLE EACH
SA001 BMR Spring cup....QA1 shocks to use factory diameter springs, pair
UMI2203 UMI F-Body Tunnel Brace Mounted Torque Arm w/ DSL - Long Tube
Header Set-ups
Direct recommendation for me from Larry @ SpeedInc. In case you didn't know, they have made many proven cars and are awesome guys. I'd suggest checking them out
Thats just me though

My original plan was to do all my exhaust mods this summer (Pacesetter LT's , ORY, and hooker catback) but my mom says I need to save up enough to be able to buy another car before I can do any mods. Fair? I appreciate your thoughts. And before your like BAH you have to listen to your mom!!! I'm 16 lol.
And people wonder why people frown upon the LTx section....

if you want to buy exhaust, cut ya a nice little exhaust leak so it sounds like absolute ****. then you can pass it off to mom as broken and needing replaced. anything you want to replace just needs to be "broke." i used to be in the same position...just gotta learn to work the system

she was gonna let me put flowmasters on my v6 because i told her my muffler looked rusty. I'll go under it and find some imperfections lol. And what are the benefits of upgrading suspension? acceleration increase?

Thats good that you are paying for everything! I got my sisters 95 camaro z28 and my dad gave me an LS1, just said do what you want with it. So im swappin the engines out, but the only job i have is car repair and its not consistent at all so it will be some time before i get it goin lol
Oh and another thing those LT1's bugged the hell out of me. My sister seriously blew two head gaskets in a year. She is a good driver but just that engine was messed up. Alot of over heating issues. So just my 2 cents, electric water pump is a good idea.

You'd be amazed how even a fully suspended stock car with some DR's can do vs. a stock car with street tires.
It all adds up. Plus once you get real power behind that thing, you'll be glad you did suspension mods

Your mom sounds like a smart woman. Definitely have some cash set aside for rear/trans/engine once you do any type of serious modding. I really wouldn't worry about it with mild bolt ons, but if you start drag racing or do heads/cam it would be a very smart idea.
