Default What would you buy

I'm waiting to see if I can get a deal on a new In-dash touchscreen because I miss my old one alot. But if that doesn't work out I'm looking at these two parts.

1. PA street/strip valve body
2. Tokico shocks and struts

Comments? What should I go with. I can't get all three unfortunatly but considering my current head unit is pretty good I am having trouble justifying buying an in dash again. Just wondering if the shocks and struts and the valve budy will be worth while mods ie will I feel them?

Well I have C springs on right now. How do you think they'll match up?

They would work very damn good.Mine is lowered with H&R race spring's and it rides better than my GT did with a little over a 2 inch drop on the Cobra.

Why would you spend so much on the valve body when you can do it for $5 plus the cost of fluids?

Because I don't like the idea of drilling into my valve body. If you or anyone else would like I'll sell you my stocker once it's off for cheap you can mod it and sell it for whatever you want. But I'm going with a PA.

Fair enough. How much would you want for the stock VB?

Mach 1 shocks and struts from Randy or another place I do business with. Tokico are a cheap upgrade and I enjoy them with my C-springs since they are valved so close to the B springs on the Bullet. MCM also has them and a few others. Bilisteins are nice and all but Tokicos are just such a good deal and perform very well

I don't know I'd let it go for cheap though. Make me an offer when it's time.
