What are your plans with the car? Daily Driver? You taking it to a track? You may wanna start looking over the stickies in this section. This is where i gained most of my knowledge at.

Yup, good acceleration gains can happen from the rear. After the rear is optimized and the car is leaving as hard as possible you can fine tune with the front.

This kit is pretty cost effective: http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo...roducts_id=345

Along with these relocation brackets:

This would give some good traction.

A good set of shocks and a set of LCAs will be your next move. Give us a call and we can set you straight with affordable parts... and the right parts the first time. We manufacture the highest quality suspension parts and are direct dealers for Strange and Afco shocks.
