i was wondering if someone with a lot more experience then myself would post a small list for the people who could use this info if hasn't been done already. like an LCA, tires an so on...the reason i am not doing it is because i am by nature a shy person.

Good UCA. Adj is just a little more $ so I went with that just in case I decided to lower the car at a later time. After the install, I'm glad I did, I only want to do that one time (Iused jack stands; a lift would have been a whole lot nicer! UCA will get rid of the wheel hop.

Next is good Drag Radials. I bought a set of 10" aftermarket wheels for the DRs.
2010 18x10" wheels:

Am currently running the MT DRs and they hook great. I went with the J&M UCA and the DRs based on info from one of our members that beats on his car on a regular basis and records some really great times. No need to "Reinvent the wheel" and break a lot of parts doing it!

Good Luck! :banana_hitit:
