I currently have the Hotchkis rear lowering leafs and front lowering springs, not a fan of the ride quality. I am more inclined to move to a better suspension set up.

I don't think I will tub the car, tubs while cool are an added significant expense. I have 17x8 Billet Specialties all around, 245s front, 275s rear. I could keep the same set up.

I have power discs all around, 12" baer.

I have done lots of studying on multiple suspension systems, Ridetech, Speedtech seem to be a great value, 5k would get me pretty far down the road on the front and rear suspension.

Agree, on seats, stereo and replacement A/C.


I really like the LS idea for reliabiliy, etc. On Jegs right now you can buy the LS3 with all accessories and transmission for 11k and get a 500 rebate.

I realize that the LS comes with a host of peripheral parts - fuel tank, radiator, mounts, oil pan, transmission cross member, drive shaft.

Any thoughts on a big block, that would be kind of fun without all the peripheral issues.
