best deal on bilsteins 93-02 Bilstein HD Shock Package (Set of 4 | Shocks/Struts | WS6store.com


bilsteins or the kyb AGX adjustable are the cheapest shocks you will want to go with.

Acdelco coils never going to beat this price New ACDelco Ignition Coil Set 3 D555 C1235 DR39 | eBay got mine form them also


rockauto is going to be the best for acdelco wires and plugs

the most common plug for a NA 3800 are the NGK TR55 around $2 at rockauto

FYI the 3800 runs best with stock ACdelco ignition components

WS6store.com is cheap, but will only have some of what you need, but good deals on MSD wires, etc.

get ACDELCO wires Part # 706X

everything else looks fine, but if it was me I would stick with acdeclo parts, 3800 doesn't play well with other brands.

why are you replacing the crank senor? you know the crank bolt is tty one time use, you'll need a new one, INTENSE Racing: Crank Bolt yes it fits the fbody, I order mine form them.

Says who? I run MSD wires & Denso Iridium plugs (stock heat range) in my 3800, runs great, as suggested here:
- Camaro RS V6 Project Car

Koni Str.t or Bilsteins on all fours. Stick with Moog bushings IMHO, except for shock mounts- OEM one is beefier.

Pretty much every v6 forum and big v6 builds, even most the guys on ls1tech agree that msd parts are junk. I even had msd before, and my car always ran like crap. Went back to acdelco wires, haven't had a problem yet.

Op get what every you want and learn the hard way.
