Can you let me know how much I should expect to pay to get these items installed, and if you know a good installer in Las Vegas, or Southern California, let me know that as well.

Here's the parts that have been suggested:

Upgraded Clutch
DTE Differential Strut Brace
Heavy Duty Output Shaft (Lingenfelter)

Thanks for your help!! Darrell
Hi Darrell....I'm just now going thru this exact same process myself. I just trying to decide when to tackle it. Keeping in mind that I have a '98 MN6 and plan to do many things while I have the IRS completely torn out of the car....here's what I have planned:

- Exedy Twin Stage II clutch....$1,725
- Z06 slave cylinder w/new throwout bearing and pilot...$125
- McLeod adjustable master cylinder....$335
- Elite Engineering Tunnel Brace....$130
- LGM LT headers with cats.....$1,745
- DTE built 4.10 diff with hardened output shaft...$1,349 (GP)
- DTE strut brace....$397
- Z06 stabilizer bars...$232 (front & rear)

I hope this helps. All prices include shipping and/or tax. Good luck!
John
