Hi...........I was wondering what you all would spend $3,000 on as far as mods go for the GT500..........Do not include a pulley,cai,tune,wheels in your evaluation.

 

thxs.

 

 

13" rear brake upgrade, Cross drilled Baer rotors front and rear, and Porterfield pads front and rear.

 

 

...and stickier tires. :happy feet:

For a mildly modded well-mannered street car with the biggest bang for the buck; here's what I would do with $3000:

 

1. Ground Control Coilover suspension kit $1500

 

2. FAYS2 Watts Link $600

 

3. AdjustableUpper/Lower control arms ~$500

 

4. FRPP 3.73 gears (installed ~$400)

 

If you wanted to stretch that budget just a tad.... :devil2: then

 

5. 14" Baer Brakes rear rotor kit with caliper relocation bracket ~$600

 

You will not believe what a different car it will be!!!!!!

bj,

 

Looking forward to the Pic's tomorrow. Please start a new thread so I can find it easy. That price you got sounds like a great deal.

 

Again, I will look forward to the details that you can give us all.

Nice! Can't wait for more pics! Where did you purchase?

 

 

 

Just started a new thread with more pix.

 

ProGlass in central Indiana. Terry DeLong is the owner and artist/fabricator.

 

About $900 unpainted. He ships and you can have it finished locally. I figured having it done at the source was worth a couple of 8 hour driving days for drop off and pick up. I'm am freaking stunned at the quality.

 

And yes, Farmdog, your KB will fit under the hood!
