Well nothing big, but it's a start. I like em. What do you think?
I also have about $1800 in my mod fund. What to do? What to do?
Should I wait until I have another grand and do suspension and sways together or one now and one later? Or?????

If it is primarily a street driven car, I would go with the suspension over the gearbox first. The advantages of the gearbox (correct me if I'm wrong) are much more apparent on the track, whereas new suspension would get rid of the hideous ride height and lacking quality. I hate my stock shocks; hopefully I'll be able to afford some HD's soon.
1) Bilstein HD's from ViperBob: $1000
2) H&R springs: $???400? Used: $200 on ebay
3) TRG sways: $650 (or check out www.vantageperformance.com--Jason tells me he has GREAT prices on TRG stuff, and he is a really nice guy)
OR
3)M030 sways from ViperBob: $350 I think
That puts you at $1550 plus shipping with M030 if you find used springs on Ebay or RL. They go up for sale all of the time... I've seen some people give them away for FREE.
So you have almost $200 which should almost pay for an alignment/corner balance if not completely, and install is free with p-car.net and the help of a Rennlister (me if you need it)!

Randy, Randy, Randy,(American Idol) looking good, love those peds.
Go with suspension for the look and the incredible tranformation in handling abilities. How would I know? I don't, unfortunately, but I have read enough to know that this will be the best bang for your buck. Gears with SUV posture? Horse before the cart me thinks, sorry Danny.

I am pretty sure you have to realign by just changing the sway bars. I did the install a long time ago, but I am thinking you have to remove some of the adjustable arms to install the sway bars. Someone with more knowledge than me can delve further.

Great look. I agree with others on suspension. VB's prices seem pretty good to me. HDs for $1k, M030 ROW coils for $300. Not a bad way to spend $1300. PSS9s are usually at least $2300 - $2500 or so.
