I have been saving my money, sold a few parts, ect. I have about $1300 to spend. Should I finish the suspension/long tubes or go a head and get the nitrous set up I want and at least the front struts I need. Both would be about the same.

Option 1:
longtubes, k member, control arms, 4 coil overs kits (w 1 set of springs for track and 1 for street), strange 10 way struts, battery relocation kit, offset urethane rack bushings, torque boxes

Option 2:
Zex wet kit, pressure guage, dual outlet purge kit, blow down kit, bottle warmer, rpm window switch, Strange 10 way struts

Current suspension:
4:10's, track lok with carbon rebuild kit, axles, rear end cover/brace, tubular control arms, spherical housing bushings, Strange 10 war shocks, full length sub frame connectors, CC plates, Eibach springs

Thanks for the help guys!

Suspension > nitrous any day. With suspension and LTs you get to enjoy it every time you drive your car but with nitrous you need to press a button and that chit needs to be refilled

Suspension upgrades are always well worth it- like said above you enjoy them every time you drive the car. My vote is for #1.

i would add lower control arms to option 1 if you dont already have them. You will definitely need them if you ever plan on running nitrous.

I would finish up your suspension, then spray it.
