Default driveshaft or LCAs?

which one should I do first? I def want to do these, but what order. It will be a few months before I save up for the driveshaft, but I should be able to do the LCAs soon. The LCAs will be adjustable since I will be lowering the car soon with the Roush rear springs.

PETER RIVERA::::::::listen to me now and hear me later.





the driveshaft is a good mod, a great mod, but not cheap, around 600 i think.


are you going to race your car, anywhere, ever? if not, LCA's might not be the best investment. im not trying to be an ***, but your driving style doesn't seem to involve a lot of launching. which is good because you still have tires........but think, are you going to be able to use the LCA's to their potential? or do you just want to replace them cause the stock stamped ones suck, and because your lowering the car?

if im not mistaken, i don't think the roush springs require them. depends which kit your going with. which one are you lookin at?


if i were you, id go for a midpipe/axleback setup, or, CMDP's and gears. you'll get more out of iti. trust me, more noise makes the car 100 times more fun to drive!

I kind of agree. I'd take the money for the DS and do gears and exhaust.

Since u're already lowering your car, go for the LCA´s + Relocation brackets. Otherwise your rear end will hop a lot during launches.

with out better LCAs the gains by the DS arent going to be used at full potentional because you still have not correct a huge weak spot in the suspension.
