    lca's panhard... ^^^


    Not to sure about the last thing.. i havent heard anything about them.. but i figure it will be okay.. they are just pieces of overpriced shapped steel anyway...


    Also, what shocks/springs would you guys suggest..
    i dont want to spend to much money there unless its going to make that much of a difference.. If i should go all out on shocks/springs then i think i'm just gonna wait.

    I would recommend the weld-in SFC's to anyone with a camaro/firebird (non convertible). I have a STB and I noticed a slight difference in cornering ans less body flex, so I would also recommend it.

    My disclaimer: I had the STB installed before the SFC's, so I don't know nor can't say if you need the STB with SFC's already welded in. :D

    Shocks; I'm thinking of going with the KYB or Bilstein's. I have heard good things from both brands, and besides, my stock shox have literally had it anyways! They both cost quite a few bucks, but I think it would be a nice upgrade.

      Might want to think about jumping on that. It would save you some money for either your LCAs or to dump into shocks and springs.

        Care to explain? I think converts need sfcs more than anyone else.

          I think he means to watch out which sfc's you get.. YOu have to get a certain kind of sfc's for convertables...

          And thanks for the link.. i was looking at that earlier.

          I allready found someone to buy them.. both never used for 170. [img]smile.gif[/img]

          I am going to get the strut bar just for looks now.. Maybe it will help a little more.. Hopefully a turbo fully built ls1 will be making its home in

          Just gotta wait to see how much the scholarships turn out to be. muahaha

            I've heard that the coverts already have boxed subframes to begin with. Thus no need to upgrade to sfc's.

              Converts have some extra bracing in the floorpan. It's nowhere near enough and they are still more flexible than any other fbody, hence they need sfcs, and need them a lot. They need specially designed sfcs to clear the additional bracing.
