guess it depends on how much you will get. my mother in law wouldn't bankroll an air freshener. Sad

If it was me I'd start with the steering issue first. Getting that fixed is gonna be cheaper than a new pair of front tires.

Other than that, are you sticking with the 6, or moving to an 8?

Fix the steering then go to suspension.

yeah steering will be fixed before my b-day comes around i get paid this week, and as suspension goes i have new struts/shocks and my springs are new too...they just arent lowering springs... and im kinda in a pickle between v6 and v8, only reason i dont wanna go v8 is cause i just spent 1700 on a new tranny, and i know i wont get that much back if i sell the v6 w/tranny. so ill probably stick with V6 but not 100% sure

So continue to build the platform.

Subframe connectors.
Strut Tower Brace.
Poly bushings.
Torque arm.
Sway bars, bushings, endlinks.
etc.

I would defiantly look into some sub-frame connectors

ok cool, looks like ill be going for poly bushings and subframe connectors, and end links, would it be cheaper/easier to just get sway bars from an Iroc or Z28?

ok i was on summit lookin at stuff, and all the strut tower braces are for TPI none for V6 does it really matter if it says for TPI cars only? and for the subframe connectors the summit catalog says like $110 for them and the website says $265

Get weld in SFCs. Like Spohn's. They bolt in the control arm, and then get welded to the pinch weld. and gusseted to the subframe.

yeah don't get the ones from jegs or summit get umi, spohn or bmr that can be welded in. I definatly watch the junk yards for the sway bars or classifieds on TGO you can typically get the 36/24 mm sway bar combo for 60 dollars.
