Hi Frank, I appreciate your input.
The maniac in me says I
NEED ATS spindles, dbl adjustable coilovers, Z06 brakes, etc. but after reading through this thread and taking a good hard look at how I will
ACTUALLY use the car. Your advice is sound.
I will say this because you asked, I can fabricate and I do enjoy doing so. My shop is pretty well equipped, I even have a mill and a 9" South Bend lathe
Right now I have more time then money, and I'm in no hurry.
I will still run some struts because I think they will be help. My thought with the coilovers was to have two sets, one for street cruising and the other for track events - I could drive to the track, jack it up, unbolt a couple of bolts and swap them out. That way I wouldn't have to live with a 'race tuned' setup all the time. The reality is I don't think it will happen enough to justify the cost. I do enjoy the tuning aspect and getting it dialed in rates very high on fun-o-meter!
While I have no problem with Hotchkis parts (other then the weight?) and I see they have a pretty well thought out design they are not exactly inexpensive. Looks like around $1300 for the arms?
What are your thoughts on the Musclebar? I'm leaning towards a G-Bar for the rear.
I saw (and listened) your vid of the Camaro with Edelbrock LS swap & exhaust - I like!
Thanks for your help Frank, I really appreciate it!
