What to do next?

Ok I'm heading back to the states tomarrow froma 12 month tour in Iraq. I have purchased rear ALCA's and an adjustable panhard from Founders Performance, and a Wonder Bar from UMI. I'm wondering what would be my next smartest move? I have been looking at K members as well as a set of Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs (1" drop). Any idea's or suggestions?

subframe connectors if you dont have them

good tires and shocks/struts

prokit is not a bad choice for a street car

Re: What to do next?

I'm shopping for a K member only because I'm switching out engines AND I want the room for headers that don't have to get nocked, dented, etc. Most people on this board who really race and use their Camaro's hard don't recommend going tubular K's unless you're bored and rich.

One of the things I'm changing out on my 88 Iroc is a shock upgrade in all 4 corners with easy to adjust shocks. I'd also suggest saving your money up for a good quality brake upgrade.

I've done the full suspension treatment; except for the K member, and I'm glad I used lighter springs, didn't try to lowerer it past an inch, and used fully adjustable aftermarket front seats. Good Luck! Nitro

Re: What to do next?

Ok I have just recieved a set of Spahn weld on Sub Frame Connectors. So who's running them and can ya post some pics? Also I am going with a Chromoly Tube K member mainly for header/exhaust clearance and I hear it shaves a little weight off.
