Default replace what?

ok i got a few things that need replacing on my 96 GT vert.

1. struts
2. rear shocks (maybe)
3. transmission
4. may as well add clutch and shifter too
5. and under drive pulley " it squeaks in the winter"
6. oh and tires "always need those" hehe


so i think i want to go w/ after market parts but am not sure whats good and whats a rip. money is more of an object than extreme performance but i still want better than what i got.

any ideas of what parts to replace w/ would be great. and maybe what else i should think about replacing.
and any links to sites that might help in my search hehe

thanks

Replace the shocks and struts with Koni's.
The tranny with a t56
The clutch, hmmm...no clue
shifter, go with a steeda triax
the pulleys, again, steeda all the way
the tires, I'd go with Nitto 555's. Good luck to you.

for ful suspension I'd do saleen to the extreme kit.

I agree with the T56 for the trani
Steeda or spec clutch (whle yer at it get a steeda aluminum fly wheel)
steeda tri ax shifter
steeda for pulleys
I'd get new wheels first to accomodate 9" front and 10" back ground touch...... but go with toyo proxie TS-1 tires.

I wouldn't swap in a T-56 if I were you, unless you've got the extra money laying around for a 6-speed swap. I'd just get another 5-speed and put the money to better use on other mods

The steada pullies are good

I like SPEC clutchs, they're nice. Centerforce is good too

I'd go with a Pro 5.0 shifter.
