Hey guys and gals,
Somewhat new to the LS community around here in HR. Got myself an 02 Z after my deployment a while back and I wanting to keep her for a long long time. I know I want to get some subframe connectors maybe a set of strut bars. Can anyone recommend some quality places to get this kind of work done? Would these same places do performance mod work? Thanks!

If your going to get a set of sub frames he sure to get the weld-in ones. A must for any F-Body.

Rule 3 of Fight Club (to Kong): Post your own experiences, and then go from there. We want folks to talk about their experiences, but not to carry on about their buddy's build or something like that... So, don't cause trubble Barney Rubble.

Kong does not speak for Va Speed,I am the only person to speak for Va Speed,so dont start bashing Va Speed for something we did not say.And by the way,we have been tuning for 5 years now.

I will not tolerate anybody with VA Speed in their sig to bash another shop in any way shape or form.If i do see this,that person if working for Va Speed-full or part time will be fired and if its a customer will no longer do business with us.

Shawn, I respect you and your professionalism. But as I see it, someone with "proud to be a part of" in their sig, is representing you and your company. Its not just a customer with a banner.
