Default Next mod...Konis or Torque Thrust 2's???

Winter is coming up and I've got my eyes set on some Continental DWS all season tires. Thats gonna run at least $850

The thought popped in my head that it might be a good time to get those coveted Torque Thrust 2's that I have always wanted. I have never been a huge fan of the WS6 wheels that came on the 02' models. WHo knows there might be a tire/wheel package out there that would make sense.

BUT...I am still running on stock "Decrapo" shocks as most of you all call em.

I am very indecisive right now.

Koni SA 4/3 set up OR some sweet Torque Thrust 2 wheels??????

I wish I could do it all, but with Christmas so close, the budget will allow one addition on top of new tires.

HELP!

Hey they grew on me a little, but the torque thrust 2's look sooooo much better.

I don't care if Tom, Dick and Harry has em. There are hardly any WS6's around my neck of the woods any more anyway. The last one I saw was like 2 months ago, and I do a lot of driving.

I've done both but the Konis will really help your ride while the TT2s will change the look if that's what you're after. I did the Konis as one of my first mods.
