Car will change direction much better, and respond much better to steering. Get a front sway bar off an XJS too.....a bit thicker so less body roll. Nice shocks all round and you're done......except for the front springs of course....unless you like your nose in the air!!

Such as: Braking system hydraulics fed by pumps and accumulators in conjunction with the height adjustable suspension, and no rear transmission mount!!
Could you go into more detail about what gm parts you used for brakes did u replumb entire system or uses existing stuff. My rolls has already been swapped to sbc however brakes never seemed right want to go thru it once and be done.

LOL I suspect he ran out of money!... Or finally figured out he has a RR TH400 already and only needs to add a turbo to a factory RR beast of a motor. Really the RR engines are beasts and I would not recommend removing for an LS (sacrilege I know).
