Hi All,

well, guess I am lucky, the aluminum driveshafts are not expensive, and one of the hoods I inquired about was less than you posted, but prob too much $$$ for a daily driver car not garaged. Even a rear end is under $300, but seems like a big job.

I have inquired about sway bars, and they are not expensive either, so I am expecting to get a pair this weekend. The shock tower brace is harder to get a hold of, as they sell quickly. Maybe next year. No autocrossing, but maybe a few track days here and there.

There are a few sway bar bushing kits available, do you all have a preference?


Thanks for all of your responses!

 

Also check ebay, at one point there where new GM swap bars selling cheap. If you are thinking of the hood make sure you know the difference between the original SLP hoods and a knock off. Used knock off are worth $200 in decent condition.

 

Thanks Gorn! Not looking at parts or ebay, just local part-out cars. The hood will prob. wait until I decide to paint over the scratches and dings amassing at warp speed (no garage).

I think my friend is trying to talk me into a rear end swap tho! lol

 

rear differential is not that hard at all. easier than plugs on a lt1.

 

Found an SS with complete suspension, getting sway bars and strut tower brace, see if he can talk me into the rear axle and subframe connectors.

 

make sure, if yours has traction control you will want a traction control rearend, if you do not have traction control you will want one without traction control

 

^^X2, Traction control rears have a wheel speed sensor at each axle end, Non-traction control has a single wheel speed sensor on the top of the pumpkin.


Haven't seen to many SS car without Traction Control.

 

Parts obtained! Sway bars a full 2mm thicker than on my base. Thanks Gorn! Sadly, the QA1 tower brace is for LS1 only, and I didn't know until I got home. No matter, there is a V6 car with lots of upgrades being parted near friend, and it has the BMR one. If anyone is interested in the the QA1 brace, hit me up. Gonna do it on craigslist for a couple weeks, then I will throw it on here and fleabay.

Thanks for all your responses!

 

v6 sway bars 98-02 are 28mm f 15mm r
ss 96-02 is 32mm 19mm

v8 shock tower brace won't fit a 6

is your v6 a y87 car? or have rpo codes gu6 annd g80? if so you all ready have 3.42 gears and lsd

 

Yes, live and learn! Where will I see Y87? I am not the original owner.

Thanks!
