$1500 blow money, what to do? Need Advice

[ChitownStang]

Pick up a really nice used set of golf clubs and put them in the trunk, maybe lessons depending on your skill level.

I've got clubs, bought them new 26 years ago but they still do fine, just need to replace a lost sand wedge. lessons would be good but I only get out a few times a year

Since you're already loaded up on the big stuff and don't want to go full loud, maybe throw it at some fresh summer rubber or a solid set of track pads if you do any canyon carving. Or just bank it for random track days and gas like the boys said.

I've already upgraded the summer setup with Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's- 285 x 305 on 10" x 11" wide wheels. That was a great upgrade!

Track time is a good idea

Hookers and blow







No seriously... I would call Steeda and see what kind of suspension goodies you could get ....

I love Steeda, I did a full suspension and craddle upgrade on my 15gt and on my 21 Mach I did craddle stuff. On the DH, I just don't think it needs it.

LOL, yeah... yeah I agree, not looking for sympathy as it's not really a real problem.
Guess I could just go buy a new gun or something

Not to get political, but I thought guns were banned in Chicago?

Going round corners with any degree of speed I feel the dark horse has more roll than it should, so in your situation I would consider minimum drop springs, sway bars and if you haven’t already then a stop the hop kit.

Fortunately not all guns banned here. AR's and magazines over 10 rounds, which is pretty damn close. But Fuck them and their stupid gun laws! Makes total sense to take guns away from licensed, law abiding, tax paying citizens that want to protect their families from the quickly growing violent crimes happening here. Criminals with multiple gun posession and breaking into homes convections get right back out to do it again, but the solution is take my gun rights away.
You really can't come up with a real solution here libtards? Like consequences and real punishments?
It really pisses me off, if you can't tell. lol

I did the stop the hop on the Mach 1 and it made a noticeable difference, but I really don't feel the roll or unsettledness in the DH, especially after new tire setup.

It looks like you have pretty much everything you want... If you have the non-hp version, I'd go for a splitter and spoiler - will probably run to more than your windfall though...

Smaller aestehtic things - some coloured lettering for under the hood, clear intake covers, interior RGB dome light, dashcams, a coloured wrap

So I got s little gift from the wife's family, ~ $1500 to blow.
I have a pretty fully modded Dark Horse and i can't think of anything else I can do other than a Whipple which is like $13k-$14k installed. That's just a lot too much for me to dump into an already fast car.
I'm already tuned and I have winter and summer tire/wheel setups, don't really care to lower the car so what else is their to do??
I've got h-pipe, ppf, tints, radar.
Help! lol

I would go with Steeda kit .. stop the hop with the bushings, braces, etc.

Since you don't want Steeda Stop the Hop, maybe cosmetic stuff:
- RTR Side Skids "Rocker Splitter"
- OEM DH HP Front Splitter

If you haven't done so: ceramic coating

Depending on what you will use your car for, with the Steeda setup, you cannot go wrong. I have a DH HP, and with my Steeda suspension setup, my Warhorse drives like a Lincoln and corners like a go-kart.

Planting the power out of a corner is important, and yes, the DH HP is very capable; it can be improved upon, and the Steeda bits will do it.

So, not a bad idea for the aesthetic upgrades.
Splitter put me too low for area I live in.
Maybe the front fender guards like the HP version has would be a nice touch

How difficu

How difficult are the bushings to install if I back my car on ramps or do I need to put on stands?

You would need to use jackstands. I did not put my setup on myself; Steeda did it. Honestly, on a stand or a lift, it would not be super difficult.
