Default confused....

I'm gonna be getting an LT1 bird soon, not sure what year.

Its gonna be getting bolt on's of course.....
But where do I start with the suspension?
Alot of the stuff hear is for drag cars, which my car will not be. Its gonna be a daily driver,but fast
I want it to handle well, 'specially since my buds like rice-burners and say f-bods suck at handling.


This is what I was thinking:
UMI SFC -- welded when possible
UMI Panhord Bar -- which one?

what else/next?

are these good choices for the money?

dude, if you want a GREAT handler then THE most important aftermarket part you will buy is SHOCKS!!!

Factory deCarbon shocks are POS, so GREAT shocks will transform your car into a VERY fun and capable canyon carver...

THE best shocks in the market are Koni's...
Period...

If you don't want to spend the $$$ then at least buy Bilstein's, every other shock is inferior...

Also front and rear swaybars, 35mm fronts and 22mm rears and you will have a RIDICULOUSLY fun car!

Call Sam Strano, tell him what you want, tell him your budget, he'll set you up with a package that you will be MORE than pleased with the results...
