(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score So I’m getting married in less than a month. I have been saving some extra cash up as kind of an oh-shit-we-went-over-budget fund. It’s looking more and more like we won’t need it. And assuming I don’t blow it in Vegas on the honeymoon (not going to really have access to it at that time anyway) it will become mod money. My dilemma is this where I spend said mod money. Here are my thoughts, looking for opinions: This ride is my daily for about 50 miles each day. I rarely have anyone to race around here, but I do like putting up a fight when I get the chance. Also an AP is a must, since I sold my HT I kinda hate the stock tune. I have about $1200 give or take a bit. Thought 1: Suspension Koni yellows are on sale till the end of May so a full set of yellows and springs. AP: ~$550 Koni Yellows:~$550 CS Spring: $209 Total: Approx. $1300 Though 2: Power AP ~$550 FP Internals: $350 Test Pipe: ~$100 (maybe DP if I wasn’t so afraid of install) CS TIP: $109 Total: Approx. $1100 any other ideas? Current mods are: SSP, Heavy Shift Knob, RSB, CPE CAI I still have a month before I can officially start buying shit, but Im already antsy.

go with route 2 and send my shift knob pro bono? ok, maybe not but I still vouch for the power route. you'll be positively thrilled once you get it all in and smash the gas a couple times.
