i would go with the sportlines and complete the look since u already have a set of rims. then u can worry about performance after.

i agree. springs will set your ride off. it one of the best mods you can do to enhance the look of your ride imo.

Springs or intake would be good. Your best bet would be to get some SS sc springs from the classifieds. A nice cheap mod. And if you can find an intake, that would be an awesome increase in sound. i put an Aem cold air. and it sounds amazing. But yea. if u plan on getting Sportline springs instead of ss sc springs, then go with springs first, then intake, then exhaust.

Springs, so your 'balt stops looking like a 4x4. If you can get SS/SC springs and a CAI.

top speed may be 120 but it's always fun getting there faster.

speedo read 120, im sure we could go higher, given enough distance, cuz i hit the governer at 105 still in 4th with more RPM to go, not to mention 5th, so we could pass 120, but its not gunna fast though, i'd be pretty slow accelation in the 100+range...plus that governing seems to be staying for now....which sucks *****

Who cares how fast your car will go, its about how fast it gets there... your not going to get over 120 in the 1/4 mile so it doesnt matter what the top speed is
