How's it going guys. I'll be returning from Afghanistan in a little over 2 months, and have been starting to compile parts for my baby. I have already ordered LT's, full exhaust, and a lid. I'm also looking out for an LS6 intake and plan to P&P my TB as well as get a dyno tune by Speed Inc. Goals are mid 12's and a pretty quick autox/road race car.

I have never done any autox or road racing previously. I grew up at the drag strip and still love the 1/4 mile. However, I am stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington and will be staying there once my contract is up. Very close to me is a full road course, as well as a location where SCCA autox is held monthly. That being said, I am planning on getting into both of these scenes. I don't plan on being competitive, just going to have fun.

Yesterday I ordered the beginning of my suspension parts from Strano.

Koni 4/4 sport shocks
Strano Springs
UMI dbj adj LCA's with roto/roto
UMI LCA relo brackets
Strano hollow sways
UMI 2 point tubular SFC's.

Once funds allow, I will be ordering a UMI torque arm with relocation kit, UMI panhard bar, and a nice set of wheels.

Can't wait to get home and put all of this stuff on. It has been too long since I've owned an LS fbody!

talk to sam, i would go straight with a watts link and skip the adjustable panhard rod.
also, if you do, fyi, sam's adjustable rear sway bar is a better match with the watts link.
