Total Budget is around $200.

The first and third link didn't work for me...

the only thing I see are the Anti-Sqaut brackets.
and just because I have seen the video of your car launching, and the nose dive it does out of the hole... I would get the brackets.
with the lowering springs your Lower control arms are pointing up in the back, this is bad..

The first item is from Dell... So I assume it's a computer part.. You may or May not get feedback of the Computer stuff...

Fixed the links.

I may get the squat brackets anyway. The dell part was a monitor, which I can get a good deal on. The third item is Stainless Steel Brake lines. Not a drag racing part but something the car needs in general.

I think if I had $200 I'd get Hawk brake pads all the way around.

Check out my launch here. This is why I really need the brackets.

Yea, the brake lines are not needed for the level your car is at, this lines are more for Rally racing where braking happens often.

Like John said, Hawk Pads or EBC PAds will stop you better than teflon brake lines.

Scott's right, the brackets will help with the nose bobbing around. I'm assuming like most relo brackets these should be welded in. Here's what happens if you don't:

Don't forget this one.....

[Deimos]

Yikes! What kind of 60' times were you seeing prior to that failure?

Welding has been in the plans for the relocations brackets after talkting to a few people.

[boss281]

Pretty consistent 1.6x. I did a 1.59 with an et street once, but the et street radials come pretty close.

Get the brackets and the monitor. Don't need the brake lines.

[Deimos]

I don't think I can swing both the brackets and the monitor at the same time. I plan to road race the car and I feel that the brakelines will assist in keeping the brake fade at bay.

[boss281]

I put Hawk pads and SS brake lines on my '97 GT vert, and the difference was night and day. I use this car as a DD and corner carver, and I'm satisified with the pedal feel, although the Hawks wear faster than normal, but that's expected.

[Deimos]

thats where i want this car to be eventually. On my list in the future is a set of Rotorpros and Hawk pads.

[MarcSpaz]

Yea, if you are going to road race, the SS lines are a good idea.

This is why my car is NOT lowered.

lol +1 .....

[MarcSpaz]

Eh, I welded mine. I guess I'll see how it goes. I still have the stock springs if it becomes a problem..... hhhmmmmm Dumped in the front with stock springs and 30" DR's in the back might look good and run great. I might see what that looks like.
