Default limited budget... 2 options

Ok, I can either get cheaper suspension and a nice exhaust, or I can wait another month or two and buy a turbo kit. kinda think this is a no brainer, but I need to know if it is worth it.

my car is currently 100% stock..

feel free to add your own suggestions.

If it were my car, I would wait a while and get a GOOD suspension setup. But hey, that's just me.

get a turbo and crash your car.

Buy suspension pieces, brakes included. And save your car from crashing.

what kinda car do you have? what is the car going to be used for? how much money can you spend now?

i personally would do just the suspension first, but it all depends on how you answer the questions i've asked above.

I drive a 95 DC4 (LS).

Car will be a daily, with show attending, and track use (as frequent as time allows). track use will be drag and auto x.

turbo kit is slippin away fast, its pretty much going to be a one time offer I think.

Save for the turbo kit, I cant wait until I have enough to get a kit for my car... I just keep finding little things to spend my money on.

If this is your daily driver. I highly suggest that you do not turbo this car because it can make them less reliable.

I intend on keeping the car well tuned, I will probably be running no more than 7 pounds of boost daily (probably between closer to 5 or 6), with higher amounts of boost during track days. car currently has 86,XXX miles on it.

well, if you think that it's a one time offer and it's worth the money get the turbo kit. i think that if your using the car for daily, show, drag and autox, then you have a long way to go. i guess at this point it doesn't really matter where you start off with. just look for whatever deals you can find and slowly build your super race/show car.

I see. However, I would still start off with a good suspension setup first. That's just my opinion.

seriously listen to us. If youve got a few GRAND to blow on a turbo, get a sick suspension set up, brake set-up, some recaros, and role daily driven %100 oem. Ive gone that route myself, theres never a day I kick myself in the butt for doing it. 1996 ls. plans for the motor are starting. Had the car like for for 3 years, the time is right to now build the motor. catch my drift son?


recenly added si-vtec fogs

If you don't tune it, and don't built it. It's very unreliable.
