I'm at a loss as to what to upgrade next on the old gal...I don't have enough cash to get a blower and I don't really want nitrous....
So far I've got:
Accufab Plenum
70mm TB
BBK CAI
SC Tune
4.10 gears
Kenny Brown Chassis Kit
Steeda Springs
KYB Adjustable Shocks/Struts
Steeda Underdrives
BBK Catted Midpipe
Magnaflow catback
99 cobras with 245/275-series Eagle F1 GSD3s
FMS Aluminum Driveshaft

I'm at a loss as to what to purchase next. As I said, I'd rather not tear apart the motor for cams and I don't have the cash for a blower and just plain don't want nitrous.

Full suspension (control arms, panhard, ta or tri-link, etc etc.), longtubes (car is never too low, hell my car is probably 1-2" lower than your car and I scrape only my subframe connectors).

Or, you could always just spend it on something else, like another car, or a TV, or a computer, or something else equally kickass.

LT's, your def. not too low.. not even close. rule that excuse out.. if u want n/a and to get smaller power faster and cheaper, get some CAMS and bolt them in (like st 1's), and than get lt's, after my lt's im sure my car will be PLENTY fast enough for a dd,.. heck.. it already is..

How much do you think a panhard bar would run?
The reason I say my car is too low is because it's got the drop already and I can't even clear the speedbumps in my apartment complex If I were to get LTs I'd be all @$%&ed up...
How much do the ST1 cams run and do you think it'd be good to get a retune after I install them? I'm running pretty lean right now and wouldn't want to start detonating with the increased airflow...

I've got two cars (sold one recently, HAD 3...) The GT and a saturn SL2(feh) for winter. Had the turboLX but it blew a motor after 180k If I bought another car it'd be a fixer upper and I don't live in a house anymore, I live in an apartment so I don't have enough room to do an engine swap like I'd want. If it were up to me I'd have a roller foxbody and throw a 347 in it.
But I digress...

TV, check. 50" Samsung DLP
Computer, check. Main PC is a AMD 4400+ 64x2 dual core machine with an x850xt and 2g of ram in it. I have a couple laptops and some other misc boxes laying around too.
Aside from that, I don't know what would be equally awesome

Yeah, I think that's my best option. I'm going to save up for a procharger. I'd get a kenny belle, but I really don't want to worry about oil lines. That was the bane of my existence when dealing with the LX
