Not a bad idea. Maybe some better rubber? Or maybe racing slicks?

mmm i would still concentrate on more of the suspension side of things. you could have the best rubber in the world and still perform like **** due to the lack of supporting mods.

not sure. its not gonna anything aggrevise but enough to add some extra kick once i get the supporting mods i want to do which in that aspect is a fairly small list.

intake, exhaust, CA bushing's and 32lb injectors and im gonna do a few cooling mods as well.

im gonna be spending more time in appearance then anything else. until warranty is up and then im going turbo

def do suspension (sway bars, get the SS/SC lower control arms, new motor/tranny mounts) then you will be better able to handle the extra power of the turbo when you get it this summer

Oh ya, thats right. I forgot about some of the threads out there of people who have turbo'd the 2.2 and 2.4. You may want to consider a clutch and/or tranny upgrade from what i've heard...
