next performance mod?
im looking to upgrade somethin...as always but heres what im thinking about. im gonna pick one or two of these things and get them late next month most likely or early next month if im lucky. give me some input on what you think i should do.
1st choice- adjustable lower control arms from UMI along with some relocation brackets
2nd choice- cross drilled and slotted rotors for the front and upgrade to better pads and upgrade w/e i can with the drums in the back
3rd choice- would be a shift kit but i honestly dont know if i would go through with it b/c it is a complicated install (i think) i looked at a walkthrough that was on a mustang and it was probly like 8 hours work and looked like a PITA so idk.
4th choice- not really performance but ive been thinking about getting a new steering wheel...
5th choice- subframe connectors. i need them eventually anyways
6th choice would be some new sway bar end links all around and replace my front struts
if you have any other suggestions let me know. please dont suggest a cam swap b/c i will not even consider putting that much time and money into my 305.

ok im seriously thinking about just painting my car, getting a new top and selling my car. it would take hella work to make my car fast like i want it and lotsa money for all the other **** it needs. if i sell it ill get a 3000gt like that one in my last post, or maybe a 300zx or something of that nature. if i get a import like that though i will only get it if its a turbo. no downgrading

the reason i would consider selling it would be b/c i could make like 2k profit off of it making up for all the work i put into it but idk...

yeah thats why when/if I sell my car this is whats happening:
1. Im buying another fbody, probably a 97 SS or Z
2. Im taking off everything possible, even my exhuast and putting it all on my new car, just selling the car as stock as I can get it.
