Got 500 dollars to spend on my 95 gt vert. Its pretty much stock with full exhaust, ram air, ud pullies, and short throw shifter, also just gave it a full tune up ... plugs, wires, cap and rotor with 100k miles on the clock. Any suggestions on best way to spend it on anything visual or performance wise?

Drop it. Or gears. You might be able to find some rims and tires used for $500, it all depends on what you wanna do

I think I'm leaning on buying some springs with shocks and struts I believe late model restoration has a package with their sve springs. Anyone have their springs? Wondering how much it will drop my car and the quality? I also found a set of staggered HP racing wheels 18 inch for 400 dollars with tires but their pretty worn. Thinking about that as well

I have the SVE springs on mine. I'm running them without Isos and theyre pretty damn low.
They have the same spring rate as stock springs, so you shouldn't feel a difference, unless you have high mileage on your shock/struts as well.

Springs would be the first thing id do, then some new wheels, and finally get some gears to wake her up.
It's all a matter of whether you want appearance or performance. If she looks good to you, get gears. If she's fast enough, drop it and get some wheels.

$500 for a cobra top where? The cheapest I've found NEW is around $700-800 with the glass not including install.

For $500 I'd get gears
