Chassis stuff I like BMR. *Find used. Cheaper that way*
Strut tower brace
Sub frame connects

Lids, find the one that looks good to you. They are close to the same. *find used*

Headers, Kooks, FLP, Dynatech *find used* Pacesetter, Hooker, Edlebrock *can get new for good price* all can come with y-pipe.

catback, SLP Loudmouth, Hooker, Corsa, Borla, and on and on. *How much you want to spend?*

Stall, I prefer and use the P.I. Vigilante (No, you don't have to tune your tranny)

Spring kit, I think I prefer the Hotchis kit better than the Eibach.
