You can mod the stock subframe and lower control arms to reduce flex or buy SpeedTech or Detroit sub assemblies and roll with the players. Both will produce similar numbers on the clock the latter will give you much more to talk about when the key is in your pocket.

It somewhat depends on how much expendable income you have and how you want to use and enjoy Your car.

Driver, Show'r, or Tweener?

It's so easy to get wrapped up in the hype and lose perspective on your personal ideals...........

Thankfully up here in Oregon I don't have to keep up with the Jones' in California and I like driving it.

Figuring out the right combination for you and confirming it before your throw cash at it is a good portion of the entertainment value. Enjoy the ride.


I'm not interested in a new sub. i spent quite a lot of time grinding the factory welds and rewelding the sub completely. filled all the holes i dont need, and found out i filled a few i did. woopsy.. i plan on driving my car. i do not have expendable income, im married with two kids. lol... i buy what i can when i can. the main reason for the afx spindle is the vette bearing packs and improved geometry the reason for the chicane kit is for the longer stroke shocks. im not just throwing good parts at it to say ive got them and not use them. i plan on driving the crap out of my car when its done. its been sitting for far too long. its my big push to get it penciled out and stick to my personal plan.

Youve made me rethink a few things. as i can get decent performance with saving some $ and later when i have more $ spend it on the afx spindles and lowers. gives me more $ for the rear which is a whole different animal.

Pondering.........

Thanks johnny
