everything cost me about 2500 bucks... this included maximum motorsports drag racing lower control arms with spherical bushings, torque boxes welded, full length subframe connectors, panhad bar, and heavy duty torque arm. The installation of everything was 1100 dollars which included installing the above plus, new rotor, caliper, axle, new studs, bearings. The car is sooo much fun to drive and so predictable around corners, and it hooks pretty good.

I am so glad I do my own work. That 1100 goes a long way towards some good parts.

Just FYI. When you try and put a large tire on a smaller wheel (315 on a 9" wheel for example), you won't put down 315mm of rubber. In actuality, it'd probably be smaller than if you were to run a proper sized tire because of the bulge. If you're on a 9" wheel, go with 285s max.

Fast, Cheap or Reliable. Pick two and live with it.

exactly, that is why I did not suggest going wider than 285 unless you widen the wheel. Good Call Nick.
