Was asking some questions on f-body.com and someone from there gave me this site.
So far, I love what I see, nice to see not everyone is into straightline performance 24/7

Now as for very very basic stuff, I am very very new to the real suspension tweeks.
Pretty much I have always been under the impression things like st braces and SFC's were pretty much night and day differences on these cars.

However, I am looking to get into crossing the SS and have looked at things like hal Q1 shocks and springs and what not.

I already have sub frames for the car other than the st brace the suspension is typical SS set-up

number one, what are the reccomendations on chcnging springs and torque arms and shocks and anything I am leaving out? Looking for personal opinions that I may take into consideration.

number 2, I am in jersey, where could I find info on taking the car to an event after she is set up to my happiness?

Any and all info and opinions are welcome
thanks, Bruce

Welcome

from what I have heard st brace does not do much on a 4th gen since 4th gens have shocks and not struts.

Two major things you forgot:
1. Anti-Sway Bars
2. T2R LSD

Oh yeah and good tires make a massive difference

for shocks you're going to want Sammy Strano's revalved bilsteins or koni single adjustables. Hal Q1's are more for drag racing from my understanding. I'm sure Sam can tell you what's wrong with them like he told me that the KYB adjustable shocks are worthless on the f-body.

If you call up Sam (ask for Sam Jr) and explain what you have and what you want to accomplish he'll set you up.

for autocross events SCCA has a link to the different regions.
