-97 WS6 project. Need help! I've got a -97 WS6 that I'm going to modify for light track use and auto-x.
But since I live in Sweden where LT1 cars are few and afar I need help from You guys.
I'm going to use it for light track use and very much on winding roads so handling is my #1 priority. Budget is about $20-25k
Since I have over 180k mi on it I feel I need a 355 rebuild to begin with. What's needed for this and where do I find good pistons? Would i benefit much from forged internals and where do I find them?
Right now I'm thinking about Ai´s Trick Flow heads and letting them port my intake manifold. For the rest of the engine side it looks like it'll be Kooks headers and ORY with the GMMG cat-back.
SSR Competition 18x9.5 Wheels with 245/40/18 GoodYear Eagle F1 GS-D3 front and 275/35/18 back
For brakes I'm leaning towards Stoptech parts with a 355mm rotor with ST-40 calipers and Hawk HP+ pads.
Since I suck at suspension this is where I need the most help. Only thing I know now is that I'm "thinking" about Koni shocks and some good springs.
Ok, guys I really need Your help so can get this project started. Please help me! Especially with the Engine and Suspension part.

this part of the forum will help you with your auto-x plans, also Im sure some guys here can as well. Im a dragracer so Im no help.
Your 355 plans, Im sure you will get alot of opinions on that. Since your overseas you will have to rely on compaines that will ship overseas. Im sure summitracing does, not sure about jegs.
