    Used 1LEs should be fine as long as the bushings are in good shape. Raise the car and replace each (one at a time) w/o torquing them down. Then load the axles with ramps or stands and torque all four bolts to approx 72 ft lbs.

        The question is what do you wan to do with your car?
        1. Pure handling
        2. Pure dragging
        3. Or both

        Also need to know your budget, cuase there is awomse set ups for each and there are budget setups that still do a pretty good job.

          I think about this too. I own a 88 camaro sport coupe gunmetal grey Black interior has the 2.8 which I have to admit I thought was going to be a dud of an engine when the car came into my possesion. However after a few simple mods I was pleasantly suprised at the little 6s performance. I want to modify the suspension but am still undecided which way to go. Lower for better handling and cornering or wide rear wheels and lifted for that mean street car look. I am getting a little older now (35) still feel like a kid though, but I am proibably leaning on lowering the ride and stiffing the suspension. hard decision though. Hail to the *****in camaro!!! I will always admire and try to own at least one for ever.

            My 3.8 I spent about 500 bucks on suspension and it handled really good.

            My formula probally going to run me like 1500 bucks, But im getting re-valved bilistens, custom springs, ect. But its going to put my camaro to shame.

                I went with tubular UMIs and have no complaints (plus they don't charge extra for yellow powdercoat). Make sure you have a grease gun with marine grease - not lithium - handy when you install components that have zerk fittings. I had to bend the tip of my gun into a 90 to get it on my fittings, but it pumped fine.
