hey guys, i have around 800$ to spend, give or take. who wants to help me shop? :)

what i am thinking for right now is a pair of swaybars and strut tower bars, and maybe some 300zx wheels if i can find them cheap. Also i was thinking about upgraded springs/struts and new bushings. comments please?

First things I bought for my 240 were Eibach Pro-Kit springs a GReddy front strut bar.

I've had the car for like 8 months now and am just now going to put the springs on this weekend. :)

Buy an AEM intake, too. You won't be disappointed.

I would just save it up till i had enough to do the suspension. Just cuz you have it doesn't mean you have to spend it yet :D

First things first get the strut tower bars, and some sway bars. My personal opinion save up for coilovers and if you have the enough money left buy lots of stickers and put them all over you car, thats good for atleast 10 rwhp.:D

No seriously...coilovers w/a good set of springs, and possibly brakes. Well put brakes before coilovers. Haha safety first;).
