[Shotimes] Chip Help

[Christina Casselton]

Jeremy--I have to agree with Ian here--IMHO also--making a car stay on
the road better and stop better is more important to spend money on,
than making a car faster.  I have nothing against faster, but safety
issues should be implemented first.

My list in order of importance is:

1--'96 brake upgrade.  Of course on a 93 these also means new
knuckles--but you can get newer knuckles out a a recycling yard.
2.  Upgraded struts (I chose Tokico's) and stayed with stock springs as
my ground effects drag enough as it is.
3.  Upgrade to a 26 mm rear sway bar.

To me these are 3 "upgrades" that the Gen II SHO should have had right
off the assembly line!  Any way my 2 cents worth.
