Bigger brakes and more steering angle, plus you get more options for wheels.

ok well im puting some y2k cobra r's on it but they make them for 4 lug. and right now i dont plan on any forced induction until i have everything else how i want it. i plan on puttin some 3.73 gears, headers,intake, rims, new paint just for right now until im ready for some more. sodo yall think thatit will be fine with that. i eventuallyam goin to do a 5-lug whenever i geteither s/c or i might do a single turbo setup. idk thanks for the input
