I've been on a very tight budget for quite sometime and finally have a little bit more money to spend. Well, use a credit card. LOL.

Here are the things that I have collected for my car on the years. Should I keep these or try and sell them and go for the RideTech Tru-turn and Bolt on rear end.

Global West Lower Control Arms
Hotchkis TVS small Block system 1.5" lower front and rear.
Wilwood 6piston big brake kit.

Planning on purchasing the SC&C Stage 2 upper control arms.

Also, currently, I have a 8.2 10 bolt rear end which I will replace with either an Ford 9" or 8.8" explorer rear or an aftermarket rear. I'm planning on putting a LS2 motor with a T-56 Transmission.

Almost forgot. I will be cruising and taking long road trips all over the country. As well as do a little auto-crossing, stay with those BMWs and the like.

After reading and searching. I'm so confused. Any help or suggestions would be awesome.

I would look into the complete Ridetech kit. Im a dealer so pm if you want a price.

I would also think about the RideTech full kit. There is definitely a market for your used stuff so you should be able to get back some of those costs.. Ford 9" would be nice but if you're not using the car hard and have under 450hp you might be ok with your stock rear. There are cheaper ways to go about that.

Thanks Bad and Dale. I forgot to ask. How good was my sum of front end parts? How well would the car have handled with those parts? I never put the parts on the car. I'm still doing body work on my basket case.

The answer to all PT questions is Rideteck.
