Hey all. New here, but I recognize some names from the thirdgen world.

Fellow I know is interested in a few rims I have. Another guy where I used to live put him '98 SS into the woods, and I got three of his 17*9.5 rims and a new 285 tire when he upgraded. One of those deals that you can't pass up. Anyway, after sitting in the shed for a couple seasons (been in college, car is sleeping) he's offering a trade.

First option is a set of Koni Yellows, slightly used, single adjustable.
Second option is a 9-bolt 3.23 posi disc rear, complete. (currently have 10-bolt 2.73 drum peg-leg)

I'm running a 1986 Z28 with some beginner mods to get me into ESP. Would I be best suited getting the shocks, rear, or ponying up some cash for another rim and some tires?

Mods as of now: 1.5" Jamex drop springs, Delco HD shocks/struts, SSM subframe connectors, wonderbar, 3point strut brace, 383/A4 (plans for manual swap), curently running 16*8 GM crosslace wheels.

Opinions?

I'm not sure I'd call a used clutch-posi a good bang-for-the-buck trade. They don't seem to last all that long in competitive driving. Once they wear out, they are basically an open diff.

I don't know if A T2R is available for a 3rd gen with some flavor of ESP-legal axle, but if a clutch posi is the only choice I'd want a new one.

I'd go for the shocks.
