Eibach Prokit Springs = good
Qa1 K member= not worth the $ unless it's on a dedicated track car
BBK front and back spring isolators= nothing wrong with your OEM's, save your $
Motive 3:90 gears= Ok , I guess but I'd do FRPP 4.10's
Chin Spolier= a must
Grill Delete= ditto
Accufab Eclipse TB= overpriced , get a BBK , cheaper and as good as any, get an upper plenum as well
J&M C/C plates= not necessary unless you have alignment problems, can cause excess noise
Summit Coil Packs= not needed at your mod level. waste of $
BBK Strut Tower Brace= another waste IMO, makes routine maintance a PITA
5 point chrome wheels w/tires= your pick, go for it[8D]

I dont see the point of buying a bunch of stuff unless you have big plans. I would get gears and exhuast with tires and call it a day. save up for a supercharger or just save your money.

I drag like hell anyway I don't want to go low enough!!!! This is going to be quite enough.
I'm pretty sure the QA1 k member requires a coilover conversion. Unless you got A arms specific for springs.
Grantelli does, but not QA1, we've already done one of these things and worked out great.

Eibach Prokit Springs = good
Qa1 K member= not worth the $ unless it's on a dedicated track car Need it for future plans
BBK front and back spring isolators= nothing wrong with your OEM's, save your $ Dry rotted, so yea, need'em
Motive 3:90 gears= Ok , I guess but I'd do FRPP 4.10's again future plans
Chin Spolier= a must
Grill Delete= ditto
Accufab Eclipse TB= overpriced , get a BBK , cheaper and as good as any, get an upper plenum as well I didn't see a BBK big mouth TB for my car
J&M C/C plates= not necessary unless you have alignment problems, can cause excess noise Tops of tires are leaning in and causing uneven wear, noise, got to deal with it.
Summit Coil Packs= not needed at your mod level. waste of $ What level am I at?
BBK Strut Tower Brace= another waste IMO, makes routine maintance a PITA Yea access to motor is hell, but I wanted to do a couple of suspension things
5 point chrome wheels w/tires= your pick, go for it[8D]

It's going to stay street/ strip, but it won't stay 4.6 for sure. Next kit bash will be a lightning motor. This is why I'm building up everything else while I have the money, because the next upgrade between motor and tranny will be around 8g's.
