hey hotchkis (sorry i don't know your first name

)
thanks for your reply, apparently my reply was not sent.
i reside in the Philippines, and shipping is a pain (just had to say it, custom duties are off the charts). i'm quite interested with the TVS package, can any competent shop easily install them? also interested with your steering kits, just have to figure out a way of bringing them in without much fanfare.
body and paint are finished so now i'm delving into the mechanicals. you hit the nail right on the head, i wanna do it right the first time. i don't necessarily have to be the best in the block though, i just want my firebird to handle and ride well enough for me to be able to trust it with my family.
of course, budget is a big issue also. apart from the TVS kit, what do you suggest? i'll be running a small block, everything is else is bone stock... (AND OLD, RUSTY... you get the picture). thanks buddy!
