V6 power adders?
#11
Thats a really good idea, when i bought the car it was already lowered. It also came with KYB gas struts installed which im pretty sure arent stock. I was told the struts wouldnt need to be replaced but the ride is so rough im thinking i should replace the springs/struts. I recently replaced the stabilizer links, tierod ends, upper and lower control arm bushings and it helped the ride but its still too rough.
Id also like to change the rear brakes from drums to discs. to do this do i have to replace the whole rear end? (which i guess il find from a junked ss/z28) or can i convert to discs without swapping out the rear end?

if your car is lowered and doesnt have the proper shocks to match the lower ride height, it will ride like crap. You need to find out what springs it has and what the drop in height was. SLP Bilsteins will be your best bet more than likely, real good quality shock for the price.
Finish the exhaust with headers, high flow cat and y pipe and put on a SLP intake. Thats the extent i would go to for power adders, any more than that just really isn't practical for the v6. FI applications are difficult on these cars, no real turbo kits for them and those that are available (STS) will cost you more than a Z28. Doing a S/C is also difficult thanks to the engine placement.
