Default What spring upgrades do you have planned?

Just curious what plans you all have for the spring time!!

I'm planning on dragging my '99FRC for a while, and don't plan on being a stranger to there this summer. So, the car is on stands in the garage right now with the following in the works:

- Monster Level 3 assembly
- New slave
- Remote bleeder
- Tick adjustable master
- Line lock
- DSS poly couplers
- DTE diff support brace
- 3-rib diff build (3.90's, Eaton LSD, Billet pinion support, Timken Bearings)


Let's hear what the rest of you have in the works and why!

Just bought the car in December, so I need to do all my normal new (used) car maintenance, tune up fluids, etc.

Then:
- Column lock bypass
- Change out valve springs
- Swap to rockers with upgraded trunions
- Cut down factory shifter
- Front turn signal black outs
- Llyod's Z06 Mats
- LG Motorsports Street headers
- Borla Stinger exhaust

Soon:
- Add fog lights
- Install double DIN radio
- Intake, thinking Callaway Honker

Just bought XSPower longtubes and 2.5 catback system from Huron Speed.. Those will going on first week of march.. At the same time A4 and rear end fluids will be changed, as well as an oil pressure relocation kit will go in up top cuz mine just took a crap.... After that all goes in then ECS will be doing a mail order tune for me.. Next on the list after that will be brakes and new rotors all the way round..
