Re: Help?!

quite vague, what are you looking to do?

the only things i will recommend off the bat are subframe connectors and a steering brace.

Re: Help?!

Look at the mileage. If you plan on keeping the car and it has high miles then do a rebuild of the engine and maybe even clutch (if manual) and new shift kit (if auto). SFC's are only going to tax a weak tranny and rear end. ALTHOUGH SFC's are a really nice relatively cheap mod that show immediate improvement / results when installed
