Whats the good(if there is any, im guessing there is not) and the bad about putting an engine in before suspension upgrades.

My suspension is still in good condition although it is STOCK. Im getting an Sr before the suspension upgrades and prolly no track time until better brakes but whats the bad about doing this. Thanks.

I can't think of any bad reasons.

well, I did that... No harm done...

BUT.. now that I am into drifting more and more.. I wish I would have done the suspension mods first...

it's not that I hate having an SR.... It's still great...so it's up to you..

for daily drive and once in a while track, you'll be fine..
