Default Procharger, Wheels, or Bags

Hey guys...i will have enough to get one of these done late next year...which direction should I go in?...here's my Z (i'm on stock suspension, bolt ons, and 20" Gianelle V5's):

keep in mind, this is right after jacking the car up to put the lip kit on, so the suspension hadn't settled


here's links to each item:

Depeneds what you are going for. Looks or performance/new sound?

if you bag it, forget about driving it. i have had friends with bag systems on their cars (not Z) and they complain it is the harshest ride. plus if one of them pops while driving, you are basically screwed. in all honestly, yoyu would do better with a coilover system and dropping it yourself.

I say get the rims first. That way your car can look good while you add performance parts.

only "performance" part on the list is the procharger. the other two are just looks.

why get the procharger? it's the least complete kit out there.

plus, with those big heavy 20" rims, it's pretty obvious you're not going for performance. Might as well stick with the cosmetics and do minor bolt ons.

I would get the TE37's. Not a fan of the Gianelle's.

i'm picking up on your subtle sarcastic insults ...why would i want a procharger if i wasn't trying to go for at least some performance?...and wouldn't the extra 100+whp make up for the 2 or 3 that i lose from having 20's?

also, i'll probably be able to buy a used procharger from a guy around chicago, so he'll have the complete kit...i like the procharger sound and the power it makes...not looking for 500+whp or anything

i like the procharger sound, and i can get my hands on a used one in great condition...never liked the stillen hood, and the vortech doesn't seem to have any character to it, if that makes any sense
