Thanks for the advice Vince!
Welding the stock sub makes good sense - GM was a little stingy on the welds!
Tell me a little more about relocating the lower arms, haven't heard about doing this before? I planned on getting tubular upper/lower arms and tall spindles (haven't decided whose yet) - will these accomplish the same thing?
I already have a 6-point cage and solid subframe mounts. I installed some bolt-in Moroso subframe connectors many moons ago which I need to replace with some weld-ins.
I was thinking about welding up some forward struts as they seem to add quite a bit of stiffness right where it needs it most.
At first I wasn't considering coilovers for the front but the more I think about how the car will be used it's beginning to make more sense. Making mounts to accept a "standard" coilover also makes more sense $$wise then using one of those conversion kits, especially when it limits me to using a custom shock.
I like the idea of the 2nd gen box because it's inexpensive - it's just so darn big and heavy! Not sure if it will fit with the big-block?
