Install S-Trim or Suspension???

PearlWhiteGT · 03-27-2008, 11:30 AM

What should I do first? I have an S-Trim that I haven't installed yet cuz I didn't have the money for the tune. I will soon be getting about $500-$600 & not sure if I should buy some quality shock/struts to match the H&R SS springs that I haven't installed yet or get the supercharger installed & tuned. It is my DD & not a race car. My suspension is totally stock. So what do you guys think???

Get the blower installed .

Hell yeah. Do the blower.

PearlWhiteGT · 03-27-2008, 02:03 PM

It's either slap on the blower & have it tuned or get some Tokico HP shocks/struts, poly isolators, MM sub-frame connectors & maybe some lower control arms. I don't have any traction with street tires on the street as of now until i'm at upper speeds & won't it just get worse with the blower?

get the blower fo sho

Your traction problems will get worse with more power . Adding some shocks and subframe connectors aren't going to help you get traction with the tires and wheels your car in your signature .

Lifted78Chevy · 03-27-2008, 04:08 PM

yea the traction issue ight be with the tires your running.
