I don't like lwfw's myself and would only go down a little in weight but thats just me. I had one on my RX-7 and it was impossible to drive normal as a daily driver but the 2 cars are totally different animals.

i'd def say clutch first then work on the stance, but if all are going to be done soon enough and your clutch isn't slipping and you stand out in your club.... why not stance? you answered your own question. lol

that is normally my initial thinking too. but the first thing i was supposed to do to the car was the suspension, now over a year later, im gettin a little sick of the functionality all the time and kinda wanted to do something aesthetic.

but basically i think im gunna go w/ a stage 3 clutch, 13lb fw and some new tranny mounts, casue my car 'thumps' when i get on it too hard.

installed this should be less then $2k right?
$1100-clutch/fw
~$250-mounts
$600-labor
Those seem like reasonable estimates right?

I agree with the majority here - clutch first. That's a necessity. The other options are luxuries.
