sprint200 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 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.... then 5. 14" Baer Brakes rear rotor kit with caliper relocation bracket ~$600 You will not believe what a different car it will be!!!!!!

VNMOUS1 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 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! bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
