Best use of $4000?

[Friendchicken]

I was considering the The IRS Maximum Grip Box from MM. But after doing this, it would be a while before other mods would come. I am hoping that a few guys here crossed the same situation and either regretted it or were pleased with their decisions.

So, it's either that MM kit, oil filter relo and 00R shocks or

apten stage III
upper/lower pulley
BAP/Plugs/Injectors
LDC cooling mod
Bassani midlength/xpipe
Brembo/baer brake kit.

My car is a weekend warrior and I love the twisties, but it's been 3 years and I still have the stock upper pulley. :loser:

I can do most the engine/exhaust/brake work myself to save the labour.. or I take the suspension route and pay someone to do the whole thing. I keep leaning towards the suspension, but the easy power is so tempting.

The MM kit includes:
MM Strut Tower Brace
MM K-Member
MM Front Control Arms w/ urethane bushings
MM Front Coil-Over Conversion Kit
MM Adjustable Tie-Rod Ends
MM IRS Subframe Bushings
MM IRS Delrin Rear Lower Control Arm Bushings
MM IRS Delrin Rear Upper Control Arm Bushings
MM IRS Sway Bar End Link kit
MM Rear Coil-Over Conversion Kit
MM XL Series Full-Length Subframe Connectors
MM Caster/Camber Plates
MM Aluminum Steering Rack Bushings
MM Aluminum Differential Mounts
MM IRS Rear Adjustable Tie-Rod Ends
Hypercoil front and rear Coil-over springs
Solid steering shaft
Urethane front and rear swaybar bushings
Urethane front swaybar endlinks

Thanks!

I say split it up - do a little of each. Stock pulley after this long? I have only owned mine for 2 weeks and my pulley just arrived today.

I have a very hard time going half way on anything... it's either all or nothing here. 2 weeks to change the pulley? geez lol

Yeah - I waste no time. :loser:

I would say, beef up the rear with bushings/springs/adj. shocks, do simple brake mods such as lines/fluid/pads/slotted rotors, and do the 2.93up/4lb low pulley with idlers/tune/plugs. You will be around 460whp/520wtq. That should make you happy for quite awhile. :coolman:

 

[Friendchicken]

well, I already have 450hp/430tq+ now.. Once i hit the 500+ rwhp barrier I have to look at cooling, fuel, clutch and IRS girdle. The pullies would put me over that 500 rwhp mark easy.

Bah screw it.. ima spend all the money on stickers.
