sub frames are a best bang for your buck mod. most deff do those!!

CC plates and bump steer kits are really only required when you drop more than 1.5 inches. but if you're going to be autoX CC plates are extremely nice to have.

yes, significantly, even if you arent modding these cars for using or whatnot, i still suggest them, it was night and day difference in my case.

c springs are about $160

i also have bbk camber plates, definitely necessary with the c springs.

i had problems with the struts clearing the hood but all worked out after some massaging

I have an 88 vert with MM subframes, kyb shocks/struts, eibach pro springs, and roush rear lower arms. For cruising and the occasional romp on the go pedal this has been a great setup for me. The ride is much tighter/solid than stock but without being too rough.
