Whats next?
I know this gets posted probably every day, but I need an answer tailored to me. Once I get my car fixed (possibly optispark problem, the car has gone 90k on the stocker) its time to start moding it again. Here's what I have done so far:
Computer retuned (not sure by who or whats done, was done by previous owner)
SLP CAI
MAC Shorty Headers
High-Flow Cat
Borla Exhaust (med)
Ebaich(Sp?) 1.5" Lowering Springs
Shocks (not sure what brand, they're orange..)
BMR STB
BMR Front and rear Sway bars
Spec Stage 2
(SFCs in the mail)
Basically thats it. I want to keep everything bolt-on right now, I plan to dive into a cam soon...but not yet. Exterior will be worked on in a few months, right now I'm happy with appearance.
I could go for a sound system, but I'm not really sure if thats a route I want to take. I'm posting here for everyones opinions. Do I upgrade the suspension? Is there some bolt-ons I'm missing? I need help!

Re: Whats next?
power to the ground...
since you're lowered:
relocation brackets
lower control arms
adjustable panhard bar
poly torque arm bushing
other than that...when was the last plug/wire change?

Re: Whats next?
I agree. Don't ya "need" an ADJ PANHARD ROD when you lower it?....believe ya do.
RELOCATION BRACKETS are also recommended when lowered.
SUBFRAME CONNECTORS are a must.
Consider an ELECTRIC CUTOUT behind the axle (before the muffler). It is fun.
LOWER CONTROL ARMS will make your car feel real smooth, especially going over speed bumps.
LT4 KNOCK MODULE usually accompanies headers.
POLYURETHANE trans mount and sway bar bushings

Re: Whats next?
The shocks can very well be the stockers still. The factory DeCarbons come in an orange color. An upgrade to Bilsteins might benefit you, but they will cost about three hundred for a set. Otherwise, it seems you are starting to run out of bolt-on options, you have covered most.
