What's your price range? I'd say an O/R midpipe

 

[Winters98GT]

What do you want to do with your car? Lowering it always looks great, but remember that you will need new shocks/struts when you lower it. LT's are a great mod, and you will not waste any money since you have not bought an aftermarket midpipe.

Wouldn't LT's essentially end up being a $500+ mod?

LT's + shorty midpipe + install = $$$

i say lower it. if u go with a pro kit from eibach, ur shocks will last for a bit. and u dont need cc plates.

Yes, they would be an expensive install. I probably should have asked if he was doing the labor on this mod.

However, Springs+shocks/struts+install is not going to be that cheap either. It's an easier install than longtubes though, but then you should factor in an alignment, depending on how far you drop the car. In the end, I think they will be close in cost.

Nice looking car. Nice wheels, I assume you are going to keep them. Rear wheel spacers (3/4" or 1") will make them look better.

Driver mod?

I do plan on doing the labor. For my next mod I plan on doing something with styling since I just got a new job and want to collect some moolah and settle down before I start spending a lot of time under the hood. It might look like i am going to go with some kind of lowering kit and wheel spacers unless somebody has a better idea

 

[blackfang]

That 4x4 could use some new springs

 

[40oz]

it's a 2001. It could use new shocks and struts by now anyway. I say lower it an inch or so.

OR midpipe FTMFW!

That takes a lot of the cost out of it. However, there are a few different springs/shocks/struts you should consider. What do you want out of the car? Strait line performance, better handling through the corners, or are you just concerned with looks?

On my 98, I just did a simple c spring(cut a coil on the back) and tokico non adjustable shocks/struts. It looked nice, handled a little better than stock and was a good setup on the street. It did hurt my weight transfer while launching though. A bunch of people have a lot of experience here with different setups, if your set on dropping the car, I would start a new thread to get some good opinions.
