Need Suggestions quick!!

Ok.. as I have said before I am building a house so mod money is VERY limited right now. I have basically 100 bucks I can spend right now. It is not much but I have been thinking about some suspension mods or something and there are a few that can be done for about that much. What does everyone suggest? It does not have to be suspension but has to be something I can do the install on fairly easily. My current mods are in the sig.

Thanks guys

Unhappy Tough situation !!

I believe a Panhard Rod goes for about $ 90.00 , so that would be my suggestion.


Looks like you got most of the free mods already , although I am not familiar w/ the TBB - ??


Best of Luck !

TBB is Throtle Body Bypass...

Thanks for the suggestion.. I think it has basically come down to a panhard or a strut tower brace.

I say get a polyurethane torque arm bushing and tranny mount. I hear that it really helps out with the power transfer to the rear wheels. I'm not talkin horse gains (that I know of) but I know it gives a more direct feel when hittin the gas.

BMR LCA's fun just over $100. If you have any wheel hop problems like I did then these will almost eliminate it.

If all I had was enough for 1 mod. LCA relocator brackets will do more for traction and eliminating wheel hop than any other mod. Bolt on ones are cheap and easy to install.
The best cheap mod for handling is a strut tower brace. It will really tighten up the feel of the car.

I decided to go with the BMR STB. Right now I am not really driving hard enough to get a lot of wheel hop so I figured I would tighten up the handling this go around. I chose to get it in red, I think some red on a pewter colored car will look good.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I will keep some of the other suggestions in mind for my next cheapy!
