Any help you guys could give me would be great...
If you are in this for long haul putting a kit together is a great way to learn about your car, how it works, and how to repair and maintain it.
Even though there are a variety of hop up parts for the TC6.1, you don't need to spend a lot of extra money, if any, to make it competitive. As a factory AE driver, I am currently using two aftermarket parts.
1. RSD DCJ driveshafts - These reduce front drive train chatter when using a spool.
2. RSD soft shock bladders - These help you build the shocks with zero rebound.
Both of these are very fine tuning options and are not necessarily must have items (especially the bladders).
Of course you will have to add a complete set of electronics and radio system as well.
