Then factor in the little price break received on the DSE stuff and it was close. If I remember right, it was less than $500. The only real difference is: the DSE cost is up front VS the installment plan when you're able to upgrade a piece at a time using other bolt-on suspensions.
That is infinite wisdom. When you are putting $25-50K total into a car $500 isjust nothing. Looking at it as a total project with a solid end goal that's major insight. Plus when you go that way you don't have re-engineer all the individual parts that didn't quite work with one and other. That alone is likely more than $500! If I just had $5 for every time that happened.
