$400 budget for suspension or other?

I got about 400 to do some small mods either suspension or other horsepower gainers but I am at a loss for once and don't know what to do with the money I was thinking springs and maybe torque bar or rear control arms. Or a new trottle body but how good is that with only haveing a ported MAF LM cat back and a lid what would be the best bang for my buck?

Subframes connectors are a must with these cars, might want to look into that.

Also what is the car going to be used for drag racing, road racing or is it a street car.

BMR subframes $160
installation $100

BMR lower control arms $90

two 12pks of good beer to celebrate $25

that's $375 or so...plenty of room for variations in welding cost

I agree with the subframe connectors, but then I'd save the extra for headers! I did a 1.58 60 ft on stock rear suspension! The headers helped me more the the LCA's did.

if your interested in turning, your stock shocks are most likely dead.
