thanx that be great if you could just p.m. or e-mail me it'd be a great help everyone tells me it's not worth it buy a new car but i own it and it's in good shape a ss goes for alot more than a new motor but anyways thanx alot man
ok seriously i get where u are coming from like my v6 is a 1 owner so i wanna keep it for a long time i have memories in that car and when i sit in it i feel good like its tailored to me
I here ya on everybody tellin you to buy a new car, but do what you want. I spent 1k on the car and dumped as much into it that a 02' would go for and now i have a paid for car that runs low low 9's.
If any of you have any questions just pm me its easier to remember that way then I can just think of what I did.

Tubular k-members aren't really for DD use most people don't have a bad experience with them but some have them break. All you need the the center section not the lower/upper control arms most people are selling the center section for about $50 and the whole thing for $100 plus you need the mounts and stands also not very expensive to find used. And don't forget the ls1 steering rack and linkage.
