Alright! So now it's time to get down to some mods! I recently found a hookup at a quality car shop. I can get free dynos and a good deal on installs. So with that being said, it's time for me to buy some mods.
First things first, stainless works 1 7/8 LT Headers with my preexisting stainless works catback.
2nd: Steeda CAI and custom dyno tune
3rd: Drop springs, LCA, UCA, adj PH bar (this is where I need help deciding what to get)
For me, suspension parts go way over my head. I want something that will lower my car about 1" in the front and 1.25-1.5" in the back without sacrificing ride quality. I'm thinking steeda ultralites? As far as control arms go, I found a good deal on a hotchkis setup. $480 for LCA, UCA, and PH bar. I don't know much about them except from one person on these forums said they were beefy and badass. Just curious what else is out there that is quality but not at the expense of my wallet. Any input would be appreciated

I won't be doing the install.
Looks like I'm adding another mod. I was under the false assumption that I had. 3.55 gears. I "thought" I saw that I had them on the MSRP sheet from the dealership. Well, come to find out I only have 3.15s. So, I will be adding 3.73 gears.

Blairnr67,
What are your goals for the car? This answer will help provide suspension advice more than anything else.
Shoot me a note at tim@steeda.com with your make and model and what your goals are for your car ... once we figure that out ... let us know what kind of budget you have. We can pick and choose pieces based on what you want to spend.
Also, if you are adding CAI/tunes, gears, etc. then we can provide a better discount on top of the forum pricing.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
TJ
