Ive been wanting to redo my front suspension since I bought the car. Im planning on BMR tubular upper and lower control arms, LS1 F-Body brake conversion, and IROC springs probably. Already have a 36mm swaybar on the way and will get the SC&C chassis brace. Also gonna rebuild the whole steering system and toss in a new steering box.

Car sits on 16" GTAs for now... May go to 17" AREs if I have the cash...


Any tips on anything I left out?

Nero, I was starting to wonder when you were going to get finished up. Congrats on getting everything done.

Thanks man... it feels, seriously, like a brand new car... I'm still shocked it's the same car. Definitely wrote Mark a testimonial-esque email of appreciation for his products and dedication!

Nero,

Looks good. You need to get some wider tires on it now!

Yea... I'm thinking of 17s... ZR1s from slponline.com. Don't know how wide I'll go, I may try to keep the width difference from front and rear minimal... 245 and 255, for example. Not sure yet... need to see pix of ZR1s

Good luck on the wheel choice. It is a tough decision. I have 245 and 255s on my car now. I am going to change out to 235s and 275s soon.

Yeah it is.... I'm almost dead set on the ZR1s (see my other thread) as the B. coddington Sultans I was considering look too similar to most other 5 spokes, still badass nonetheless.

Let me take this time to give a shout out to Jeremy for all the help!!! Appreciate it, man!!!!!!!!!!!
