Nice car! Site is not very active, questions are better off searched here or other sites as you likely will be waiting on answers. Good luck with your new ride.

I知 in the Chicagoland area, but not really interested in sway bars or bushings. I would be interested in a tuner to disable the DOD. Thanks for the offer.

I just assumed you would not want to keep the car stock from the stand point of handling... since the SS's are not really built with parts that allow it to handle any better than a standard entry level W body... of course if you just cruise around in it and don't push it... there is not a lot of motivation to move away from a stock configuration.

if you change your mind... please let me know.
