Rep Power: 262 Don't forget you could also get 500 tacos from jack in the box.
I would opt for the coilovers, unless I was drunk, then I would do the tacos.

short shifter and either save the money or get the bar, you know you'll eventually get it so why not buy both at once and be happy with them.

yup, traction -is- important ... but a cam isn't gonna give you so much power than you're gonna have traction problems ...

Rep Power: 0 save your money for true coilovers or save your money for cam/spring/retainers, or get ss, and tower bar like suggested.
viscoustech.com for ss. 65 shipped, you get two pieces and it shortens front back motion, and also side to side. well worth the money i think.
