I'm at a crossroads. My LX needs some work and I've got some money saved so I can do said work. The car has 150K miles on it (approx), the ball joints are worn out, the sway bar bushings are worn out, I'm sure the LCA bushings are worn out, and the shocks/struts are worn out, in short, the car handles like a shopping cart. So there are two routes I'm considering and I need to decide which one to take. Should I buy the Maximum Motorsports "Starter box", or the "Sport box"? If I buy the sport box I'm going to buy the extreme duty adjustable LCA to go with it (since I'd be so deep in the suspension, I wanted to get them done). My hesitation lies in the fact that if I go the sport box route, I will almost be tapped out (will be doing a five lug at the same time, so I gotta buy tires). If I go with the starter box, I get better springs/dampers, but not all the chassis stiffening parts I want, I'd have to add those later. Keep in mind, that the car is 98% street, with the rare trip to the drag strip (yes I know, I don't want drag suspension on a street car, I drive too aggressively for it).
Any opinions would be appreciated.
