Default How to spend my tax rebate...?

Checked my bank account today and realized that I'm now $600 richer Plus I got payed today, first paycheck after my raise, so I've got some money burning a hole in my pocket.

I've got an email fired off to Daze already for the CSRP (discbrakeswap.com) Kelsey-Hayes style disc swap kit, but I'm open to other ideas.

Shelby drop is already scheduled, along with a slight coil cut to lower the front end to a reasonable height, but that's only going to cost me $30 or so for the bit and template from Daze. I should probably replace my control arms all the way around (to hell with rebuilding the uppers), as they're all original, the uppers are squeaking, and I believe the lower ball joints are on their way out. Rear springs and shocks all the way around have already been done. 5sp upgrade is not affordable at this point. Rear end is going to wait until the 5sp conversion so I can run low gears and still be able to drive on the freeway.

So....yeah, any other suggestions? Basically something under $600 that I haven't thought of.

Good idea, but I think subframes are farther down the priority list right now A little overkill for the rest of the suspension/drivetrain right now.

I am considering a set of Traction Masters, though. Not that I'm getting enough traction to create wheel hop, but they won't hurt.

I am always willing to take donations for parts money

What tax check???!!! I did my taxes this year, and was told...sorry, you make too much. Great, I' m in the highest tax bracket possible, and I don't get a check. I did see a deposit last week, but it was less then 10% of what I should have gotten. Didn't even fill my truck up with it!

If it makes you feel any better groho....we weren't even close to getting any sort of tax rebate either.

I'm still starving college student class, so I get all $600 The fact that you're in 'the highest tax bracket possible' probably has something to do with your lack of a rebate.

And all you people begging for money... :P This is money I should be putting towards school and food and stuff.

Do not spend that rebate money. You will have to give it back to the IRS next April.
It's a crock. It's not free money and should not be treated that way.
