What to buy first?

Hey everyone, I'm new to this site. Just found about it through CamaroZ28. Anyway, got a few questions. I just got some money in and my next mods are definetly SFC's. I was also thinking about gettin a STB but the more Ive been reading, I'm thinking about getting LCA's and relocation brackets before the STB. What are your opinions on what I should get first?.....also, guys on the other site were sayin if I get a STB, I should also get a wonderbar at the same time or else I won't be happy with the results? Is this true? Because I never really thought about getting a wonderbar and now I see they're not really that expensive, so I just would like some more opinions. Any input would be helpful....Thanx!

really no need for relocation brackets unless you lower it.

Also, what is the main function of the car? Daily Driver, Auto-x, drag, etc. This will make a difference.

About the relocation brackets: I thought lowering the location of the LCA's helps with better traction and in reducing wheel hop? I figure its only $60.00 more. And lowering it, that may come down the road, but I'm still not sure I want to with Michigan roads. They're like swiss cheese with all these potholes. lol anyway, As far as the car goes, I just got it last year and I only drive it maybe 3-4 days out of the week in the spring and summer. I wanna take it to the track (drag) this year and would probably like to drag race more and more.

If your springs are old, get the relocation brackets. If they're fairly new, just get the LCAs and you can get the brackets welded on later. That would be my next step AFTER subframe connectors, which should always be the first mod. Always.
