Check Tire rack. Make sure you look at total cost, shipping mount and balance road hazard. TR is hard to beat.
All my cars got tires from there. I get the wife's at Costco Just because I hate working on the wife's car and they rotate for free.
You are 100% on the right track for a daily driver. Other then the valve train there are not a lot of weaknesses on there motors.

1What i got so far is tune up plugs wires air filter gas filter pcv valve rear end cover an gear oil change 2 isolators rear springs shocks,will do most of this on say 1 day or 2 days takeing our time.
from there i may need front shocks,you guys no how that goes get the rear end tight the front gets loose,then will do the cat back ,also thinking about hockey stripes on front fenders to get the white poping ,as wel as a strip down on the lower door,not on the hood though,
every thing i mention on this page should be good for a few years though i am missing panhard bar trailing arms an a few other things
go patriots #6 Excited about the car an the game,About $1000.00 this car is where i want it for the next for year

Here's a few pics that show my exhaust system and a few of the tubular bits under my car, springs and heavy duty hollow sway bars with Koni "yellow" shocks were a complete handling kit from Strano parts.
Front K-member and A-arms are UMI as are the rear lower control arms,rear torque arm and relocation bracket and panhard rod are BMR,also the subframe connectors. Headers and Y-pipe are ARH and the catback is GMMG chambered system,no big muffler just chambered pipes. Oh and the driveline loop is a Midwest Chassis part.
I bought some of this stuff lightly used and some new in the box but second hand, the Strano springs and shocks I bought new,also the ARH parts,the GMMG was on the car when I bought it.

well so far i got plugs wires pcv valve air filter rear shocks springs gas filter ,will get some dex cool 100% too i would say i got about $500.00 in tlc + today i found the loud mouth kit on CL $275.00 brand new pretty much from a friend of a friend in the $500.00 saved $110.00 there,right down the road going to get in a few days,thrifty not cheap ,got monroe senca 5 stars from 25 people struts ,got to be better then stock ones moog springs,
So a good start for the season as i feel like these 40s to 50s,hope to get it inspected in the next few weeks then get a 20 day temp plate ,an then like 17 month plate will cost a bit more but only one inspection,other then the transmission service will see about that an the rear end sevice after that, should be good to go for the year ,an selling the 406 too,
Also i think i am keeping the stock 16in aftermarket rims an tires there brand new ,then may move to 17in down the road plan very excited to get going now,an at some point need to paint the capliers too.
Kinda wish i needed brakes but there all new ,there is a bunch of kits on ebay right now ,slotted rotors painted calipers an ceramic pads ,for $300.00 after the core charge of $90.00,4th gen brake kits . could not be cheaper right now
