OP, you work, right?

I would hold back some of that $2000 to buy a pair. That way, you won't have to ask permission next time you want to modify your ride.

All in good fun

My next mods will be louvers and tint. I may remove my resonators to increase the "roar" from my Dynomax axle backs.

As for my wife's approval, she would never see the need for any mod. Therefore, I don't seek her approval! I just do it when I feel like it and when I say I have the money. I'm almost 45! I seek no approval when modding any of my cars because she would never approve it anyway...why ask! That's just how I do things...don't try this at your house...every spouse is different!

I'm 43 with two kids. $2000 right off the top is quite a lot and would impact my family, therefore I asked. $300, don't really need approval for that. Now I'm doing $250 a month to knock out the small stuff.

Panhard

As for the suspension I'm stuck between two. I'm not real sure about the differences and which would be better, or should I say, suitable.

I wish my husband would do that for me!!!

I go by the rule "Forgiveness is easier than permission" as a back up plan when asked about something new I just say " Don't you remember dear, I told you about that a couple of weeks ago. Do you want to go out for dinner?"

The later works better after you have been together for a while and the age thing can work in your favor.
