Default My next mod...

My mods are in my sig, if you choose other please specify

Please no cam or gear responses as I'm waiting to do those, and I will do LTs after both of these choices. I'm also open to advice on what springs to get to go with Bilsteins.

Do you mean just a plain adjustable TA, or a relocated one? I don't really understand why someone would spend the dough on an adjustable TA and keep it on the tailshaft, just to have to move it when they start making serious power.
I'd spend a little more $$ and go with the relocated adjustable TA.

I budget depends on what mod I decide to pick lol I will save up extra if I need to. I was going to wait with LTs till after suspension because I haven't decided yet what brand I want.

Bilsteins are a mod you'll feel everyday and probably notice the largest difference from the parts you've expressed interest in. While the torque arm is a terrific upgrade to make, it's not something that's going to show a tremendous A-to-B difference unless you're hitting up the strip all the time. We have a package available with the Bilstein shocks that will save you over $140 off retail. Let me know if you're interested!

$900 is out of my budget range for now, I would have to wait a while if I plan on spending that much. I have found a good deal on BMR's so I might go that path

Definitely your best option right now from us.
$735 - Koni and Springs

The Bilstein Package would be $649 for shocks and springs.

Also, this is coming from someone who CUT his front springs. Total performance right there.

My build is a plan I already have mostly set out, and every piece I will acquire when the price is right and I have time to install it. If I was going for "best bang for the buck" I wouldn't have most of the mods I do. Think about what you're saying before you make comments on someones project.

So you do agree that it will do nothing...also that your not quite at that stage necessitating. Yet you bypassed shocks for this?

You cranked out a poll asking for our opinions? why? AND Ppl participated. And I gave you mine. It was the least I could do.
