Can you afford all of these mods at once?

The $35 dawes MBC would be a good start that would leave $$$ for suspension now.

VRK around $1000 to $1100 after install
Koni's are $550 to $570 plus install
SAS is $125 plus shipping and DIY

There is very little synergy to VRK and shocks and/or soprings as the same time. The only thing in common to the VRK and strut work is the popping of the ball joint tapers.

Springs and shocks are a do-to-gether, plus upper mounts if they appear to be tired out.

DIY can save a lot of labor charges if you are into and equipped and experienced.

So $35 is chump change in the scale of things. You are prepped so do it. you can remove later if you want the ECU mod and $35 is a stepping stone.

For immediate bang for the buck I suggest the MBC and the SAS rear sway bar. This is DIY and total is under $200.

The VRK requires a hydraulic press to get the stock oil filled bushings out and to to remove the bushing at the bottom of the fire wall. So this is not a DIY and with the right equipement the bushing can squirt oil in your face in its death throws. A VRK install will cost around $300.

Seach for drs<underscore>install for posts on DIY for SAS rear swaybar and strut/mount jobs.

Done the throttle body transition casting rework yet? It is a major improvement. More power and smoother engine. The stock unit creates such turbulence that uneven cylinder charging and mixtures result.
