I was thinking of doing the z1 400 power pack and that's about it also new brakes rims and maybe coilovers. I want a reliable car with some good pep.
The stock suspension is quite good.. I have seen too many coilovers that were done terrible, especially if your budget is 2 k for everything..
My recommendation:
- replace shocks all around, by now they probably need it unless previous owner had them done.... many shock upgrades are less $$ than OEM.
- New pads on the brakes.. can be upgraded pads.. but consider doing a period correct brake pad upgrade.. like MetalMatrix pads. They were available in the 90s.. And then just add high end brake fluid.
- I think AAM might make highflow cats for these. If your stock exhaust is in good shape consider leaving exhaust stock and just doing the hiflow cats..
- Aftermarket "Rims" eat up money and add little except (usually) weight and fragility.. All but the most expensive new wheels and tire combos are not as good as the stock wheels. The stock wheels are light ,strong and have true roundness.. unless u go with 5zigen wheels... they are light and decent quality for the money... but usually made for lighter cars if memory serves.
But I agree with Greg.. I would leave as is.. or maybe a very very light touch .. New upgraded shocks, New tires on the stock wheels, Upgraded brake pads. Thats 2 k right there.
