Default Have 1K To Spend!

Hey guys have about 1k to spend on mods so there are a couple of options. I could do 17-10.5 black bullet deep dish rims with the 315-35-17 nitto dr's cause i need traction bad plus upper and lower control arms in the rear. rims and tires are $640 from AM and Control Arms about $200. Or should i pass on the rims and just buy the nittos for my stock rims plus the control arms and get the mgw short throw cause i need one off those yet! And lowering springs with c/c plates.

I wouldn't spend any cash on it if you are selling it.

^ agreed

What are your goals for upgrade? Just the 1/4 or Twisties as well?

If your ONLY goal is to hook on launch, go with any good LCA/UCA you can find. Recommend MM or ones on Summit Racing.

Nittos with the 10.5" wide wheels is also a good choice.

As far as springs go, going too low will hurt e/t times.
