Im thinking about going ahead and getting my suspension out of the way, abd heres what i've come up with so far.car is 5 speed

- Lakewood 90/10 and 50/50 shocks and struts
(do i need to get the 50/50's since the machs have tokico's stock?)
- J&M Control Arms
-Battery relocation kit
-A/C delete
-Rear seat delete
-Drag radials
-Friends old tri ax for $100

or should i just go ahead and get k member, A arms and coil overs?

And yes, i have 4.10's and a tuner setting beside me before anyone says gear it.

Didn't say if it was auto or stick....I would go with 4.30's minimum auto or stick. Tokiko D-spec or strange adjustable and drag radials.

The shifter is ok and way better than the stock junk. I'm partial to Pro 5.0 myself. I thought the tri ax was a little too notchy.
I would leave the ac delete, rear seat delete and ac delete on the back burner for now. Unless you delete the whole ac system you aren't gaining much.

Weight removal is good and you can start in your trunk, rear wheel wells and under the carpet removing that tar crap sound deadner.

Ok here's my set up that got my car in the 1.6s... And both wheels up

90 10s
50 50s
Summit control arms, donot recommend
Fox 4cyl springs in the front
And a Drag radial

Your on the right track... Should work out well

The 4.10's are setting beside me,im not sending them back lol. i had them in my GT and loved them.

Yea, had the tri ax in tha GT too.

yes, i was planning on deleting everything, im not an a/c kinda guy, how much weight should that save?

dude, ac is my best friend in the summer. i love it. idk how you can not go without it?

Word. Not an AC guy myself either unless somebody else is in the car.

Heres the rule I go by that I based on the MythBusters gas efficiency episode.

Anything below 55 I just keep the blower on with no AC or I crack my windows. I AM NOT an windows down kinda guy at ALL especially this time of year with the pollen. I keep every single square inch of my interior armorall'd at all times so dust/dirt sticks to my dark interior.

Once your above 55 or so its more fuel efficient to roll up those windows and put the AC on. Mythbusters proved it(in general).

Obviously this is only cruising I tap the AC on to cool it down a little bit then click it back over to the blower only. But other than that just pull your skirt up and sweat it out :P .

What happened with the supercharger idea? Eaton swap more hassle than you want?

im still looking and really want a s/c'er but cant find a headunit ( vortech) for anything so i figure i might as well get the suspension out of the way since i will need it anyways, but im looking everywhere for a vortech.I still want an eaton but its more of a hassle than i want to deal with IMO
