I have H/C/I, gears, full exhaust, spings, subframes, cc plates, shocks/struts.

Now should I get some nice 13" brakes or get a Tweecer RT (they seem to be the best?) and how hard are these bastards to use? I can get my hands on my bros laptop.

Will I benifit a lot from a tuner, car run better and get more power or what are the benifits?

Well my answer is slightly biased as I don't have a Tweecer... but I think everyone should upgrade their brakes. I did several years ago and would do it again in a heart beat. So my vote... BRAKES

Thats a tough call but Id have to lean more towards brakes.

BTW: Ive been busy recently but I'll check into the shipping on that STB, dont worry about not having one on there, mine dosent have one either.

The Tweecer can help with drivability issues and allow you to make more power.

How is your drivability and what kind of dyno numbers does your combo put up?

I think it's something you install on your car and leave there.

You didn't say if you had any drivability issues that were causing you grief and I don't see a sig with your mods so I would say if your not that unhappy with the power or drivability of your car then in your case .......................

A Tweecer might not need to be at the top of your mod list

What he said. When I did my swap (in my sig) it would not idle at all or run half as good as it does now. I had to buy the tweecer. I have not messed around alot with the tune. I installed the 95 cobra r tune into it and now it runs pretty good.

So if your car runs fine and you really want to stop that fast then get the brakes.

While Im still running the stock h/c/i (my car is pretty slow ), I couldnt imagine goung back to stock brakes after swapping Cobra brakes on. They've already paid for themselves. Kept me from slamming into the back of two cars . Well worth the money to me.
