To answer your question. Hotpart does exist and I've been quite impressed with the quality of their parts (I have some Hotpart stuff laying here right now).

I've also worked with Ryan at UMI and they build excellent quality stuff as well (and I have some UMI stuff also).

Call Sam at Strano parts. He is a sponsor here and he is also a suspension hero. The upgrades he recommended for my TA were awesome. Great daily driver ride and killer on the track. Check him out. Even if you don't buy from him, he will educate you on your f-body suspension.

And I also sell UMI parts. One stop shopping.
But, I'm not in the business of giving free advice to anyone just looking to use it elsewhere on purpose. Generosity with my time and knowledge has it's limits.
