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

sharpie -
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...
