Any recommedations? -Wilwood 12.19" rear brakes.... anything out there better? As for the rest of the suspension I am looking for more suggestions. I also have a 98 Z51 thats holds the garage floor down and a 91 RS which is my daily driver. As for summit point where do I start?

welcome to the board. hope you like it here.
btw, on the items you are working on, the k-member, i strongly suggest you do some readings on the board and check about the new UMI K-member that seems to be very strong and much more oriented towards racing (not just 1/4 mile) Also, for any fab work for cage, BlaineFab does excellent work and can give you lots of great advice. As for the sway bars, not sure about 3rd gens... but you are thinking 33mm/25mm setup. for a 4th gen, that would make the rear a bit loose. As for the brakes, the rears aren't worth the upgrade... put the $ on the front ones... and good pad selection. Welcome aboard and enjoy the reading and the fun. |

I didn't think UMI made a K-Member for 3rd Gens. |
