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?

The posi is in working condition, but I suppose my angle on it would be a better starting point in the first place. 9Bolt is stronger, discs are better, etc. He's leaning toward the shocks, as they're easier to ship, I'd be content to drive the wheels to him and drive the rear home.
