[QUOTE="Redneckbmxer24, post: 15323803, member: 34905"] Ok, I think I'll hold off on the watts link and K member for now then. The watts link is easy enough to add later if I feel inclined and the K member won't be bad either. Between them I'll save $1K in the process for now as well. For the control arms though do I want adjustable or non adjustable? What's the benefits. I think I'll hold off on the sway bars for now as well because that's also a simple swap later and no different than doing it with everything else really. So I'll stick with my original plan for the rear to do all the control arms and brackets and pan hard, and A arms in the front. When/if I add more down the road I'll also be able to feel the benefits to the additions vs doing it all at the same time. Either way it's probably going to feel like an entirely different can so I'll appreciate it more in stages. As to the sticker performance being too much for the motor, if I do the full suspension and accompany it with the sticker package do you think diamond coating the internals would suffice? My 03/04's I was able to fill the H beams with JB weld and drill holes through the top of the pistons to let some of the power escape if it had to. It was enough for it to hold the power but these cars have I beams so it's not an option. I'll probably do subframes and other braces in another stage down the road. I'm not too worried about losing some city drivability though, I don't find myself in the city too often and actually live pretty rural now 15 miles out of a small town. My area is nothing but twisty two lane mountain roads so there is plenty of fun to be had. I have a Lexus GS as well as an F250 to DD and I'm also going to pick up a C6 Z06 to beat on a little as well. If doing the suspension upgrades will mean it will only be manerable when I'm driving it hard... Well I won't complain, I'll just have to have fun more often. [/QUOTE]
