d2 coiloverssway barss/t bars t/c rodsazenisj30 diff

where should i go from here? i would buy more forms of bracing if i wasnt convinced that i would only be effectively adding weight. ive already lightened the car pretty extensively. your thoughts?

start at the top and move on down the list.http://www.splparts.com/Parts/...k.asp

don't bother with chassis bracing until you have a cage. That will have the most benefits in safety and bracing.

I don't see bushings on your list. I would have started there.

some bushings are pointless though, if they are going to be replaced with pillowball.

also, some bushings are pointless because they WILL crack your stock arms and such.

well, they'll both die on their own in time. The VLSD will begin to wear out where it no longer locks all the time, and the D2's dampening ability will start to deteriorate. The question is how long will it take. You could upgrade to a clutch type or helical LSD, which will drastically improve performance over a VLSD. You could rock Z brakes, or something even larger. You could buy new wheels, and/or some R compound tires. It would help to know what your goals are for the car.
