first suspension mod
what do you guys think is the best mod to start off with? All I care about is straight line acceleration. I was thinking about either SFCs or LCAs to start off with. any input apreciated.

LCAs, let me know which ones you want and lets get them out to you.
But really, what other straight line stuff you got? Tires? TC? There are some other things you could do FIRST.

I'd do energy suspension bushings all around. most of your stock bushings after 15 years are probably pretty tired and worn out. It'll also get you familiar with just about every one of your suspension components. You'll notice a huge handling difference.

Don't just think poly bushings right away. Most aftermarket tubular suspension parts come with bushings already. I would go LCA's first.

lca didnt do much for me...relocation brackets did twice as much as lcas did. sfc did help firm up my car but it wont help with your traction
