ss part might cost more actually since it would be a gm part vs a bmr/etc. for much less

It all depends on what you want to do autoX or rr or just on the street like on ramps and stuff like it. Bigger rims and good R compound tires made a good diff but it just showed me how bad the body roll was. So i went to the next step and that was sway bars WOW what a diff it was like night and day the car was like so much more pedictable I went to BMR for those great mod. After that i went to shocks and lowering springs H&R's and bilsteins it just added to the way the car went through the corner those componets are the braines of your suspention and your car going on a deit. There is alot of diff compos and prices so test and tune for what you want out of your ride.

Thanks guys, I will stick with the SS sway bars for now. All mod money is on hold until I find a vette...
