I need some opinions on what my next mod should be. This is what my car has so far...exhaust, Moroso CAI, 160* powerstat, airfoil, high flow MAF, HPP3, shift kit.
So what should I do next? Keep in mind that my car is still my daily driver, so I don't want to do anything real big-time yet. Not until I find a beater to use as my daily. And I don't want to do gears yet either.
So what do ya think?

Time to start on the suspension maybe? A brake upgrade? How about body stiffening? Yeah thats it, SFC and a strut tower brace.

Just my $.02

I agree with Thom,

My .02 is to start go with some suspension work, like subframe connectors or panhard bars. Those two components will make a solid improvement in the handling characteristics of the car, but shouldn't compromise ride quality too much since your car is a daily driver. If you dont mind a little added noise and stiffer ride look into some lower control arms and maybe some larger sway bars. I really think that getting the suspension tuned is the best way to start modding a car since adding power can be a waste if the car can't get it to the ground. A few tweaks here and there can actually make your car faster and handle like a dream. Hope this helps. Enjoy your car, that color reminds me of the 94 V6 Camaro I had before I got my SS.
