agreed, also check out racing beat for springs depending on what you want your car to handle and feel like.

Aluminum radiators can be found, but do you actually need one, how modified is your engine, I had mine rebuilt as a 3 core, major improvement for about $200. I used a Ford Taurus fan, its cheap and very powerful.

Springs should be the same.

I used this set up www.racersareme.com great value for coilovers

okay so explain to me how all that stuff works.. i get the idea behind the camber plates since i work on alignments at work.. but what are turn in spacers.. how do they work and how do the coilovers work.

i dont really need one no.. but i dont need anything really... its more of a want. lol
