Alright to anyone who didn't see my thread in the Chassis section http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?showtopic=13326

After some much appreciated help from Sam and Trackbird and other members (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I've compiled my list:

Shocks http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...1&ModelID=4

Springs http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...4&ModelID=4

Panhard bar http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...9&ModelID=4

although for the record Sam recommended the watts link (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) but I would've had to ditch something else for it's sake . . . so panhard it is . . .

and C5 brakes http://www.kore3.com/proddetail.php?prod=10105-01

minus the brackets which I will get from a forum member . . .

Sound good to everyone ? ? ?

Thank you for all your advice and help (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

I'm probably gonna start ordering next week so speak now or forever hold you peace . . . (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

Interesting, I didn't know they made shocks for the thirdgens... hmmm. I really don't know why they're shortened though, I really see no reason for that except in the back, in which case I'd run a shorter shaft and a stock length body to keep a stiff rear spring seated. Whats funny is with 1" shorter struts the bump rubbers they show on the shafts are just going to be making contact on the camber plates when the LCA has bottoms out on the k-member.

If you haven't done a lot of track time I'd vote for the ls1 brakes with upgraded pads, you're probably not going to need the nice brakes for a while.
