Tax Return Time!

Time to upgrade my suspension with the tax return.

Eibach Pro-Kit (no sportlines)

Koni sport shock set

Neuspeed strut bar

Neuspeed rear sway 22mm

Neuspeed front sway bar bushings

and off-topic: Hyper voltage system

I have found good prices at Robear Racing. I am only getting $2100 back so I need to figure in the labor for the struts and alignment. Is there anything I am forgetting for is there anything here I should delete. I need to know if I need camber correction for this setup.

I haven't wasted my money on huge rims. My 15x6.5 are fine.

By the way I really (really really really) want to try solo 2 this spring.

Or I could blow it on a three day racing course.

after you get your suspension work done, wait a few days (4-7) before you get your allignment. You shouldn't need a camber kit for the prokits, but it wouldn't hurt just in case.

Personally Thats what I'd do.... a good Racing school will do more to reduce lap times more then just about any part you can add to your car. especially when you are just starting out.

Thanks for the advice. How are the racing schools down at the Vegas motorspeedway? I'm in Salt Lake, so Vegas is more convienent than LA or wherever.
