Have to get my waders on for this one...........
Bolt on refers to the engine? How come it won't even do that without mods? Hmmm, probably because you don't know what you're talking about? Yep, that's it...
Highly doubt anyone uses the stock trans crossmember? Again, I think you need to do your homework. No reason not to use it... Fits just fine.. PLenty of folks on LS1tech are using them, and just as many have subscribed to our info thread. I know that bothers you.
What change in ride? You know my car now? LOL
I already told you what pan, the CTS-V... And it fits with the BRP and the other mount kit, just like I said... There are plenty who have done that mod.
Body mount bushings control the height between the BODY and the frame. Nothing to do with the center link. Thanks for exposing yourself...
You say hack a front crossmember, I say a small trim that doesn't cost $4000.... You getting a piece of that $? Sounds like.. LOL
Again, you say bandaid, I say not giving your buddy $4000 of my hard earned... We'll let everyone else be the judge... I have no worries.
You say splitting hairs, I say informing the public about alternatives to throwing away $4000 that isn't needed.
Too bad we all can't be as perfect as you, huh? LMAO..
