    Where is a good place I can find those at?

    This why I like this place cuz everyone gives u an idea and helps u get more ideas. Thanks a lot guys.

    Also I want to get M-Tech II kit? Any feedback? Anyone have pieces that I might be able to put one together?

        'ejnight' here on the forums sells the x-brace. Very high quality and good price too, I think it's like $145 or near that. Strut braces can be had from many of the aftermarket suppliers. Elephant motorsport, Flying Brick, Ireland Engineering, etc..

          Yeah i agree, also dont run coilovers without supporting your rear shock mounts as you could destroy your mounts as they arent designed for the extra loads from the coil over suspension.

                        I vote coilovers, but it all just depends on what you're looking to do.

                                First off welcome to r3v!

                                There is tons of info on everything you would want to do to that gorgeous cabby. I did Ground Control coilovers on my Brothers cabby. Made worlds difference. Another is a 5 speed swap, that is #1 in my book, the cabby is rare to find in manuels.

                                Good luck with her
