Does this make the ride harsh? I have the Z51 option on my car, is it much stiffer then that? Thanks, Kaley

Which reminds me, and sorry if this is a threadjack.

What's special about the T1 spindles? Are they built to allow more camber or something? I had thought at one point that getting the full T1 suspension package would be fun, but was intrigued that new spindles are included.

How would the T-1 shocks be diferent/"better" than the '03 Z06 shocks? I'd like some T-1 bars to compliment my Z suspension.... would that work well?

Dan,

I don't think I am off course here, but the T1 kit doesn't come with new spindles. It comes with the swaybar kit and control arms. Maybe you were mis-informed?

The T1 suspension setup is very stiff and not nice to the driver. The T1 shocks are mostly for autocross and road racing.

Thanks Gene, that's it, I was thinking the arms were spindles. My bad. :)

Thanks for the clarification, and for the great prices!

Isn't the only other T-1 piece the control arms? (that is the lower A-arm isn't it, that fixes the negative camber at what, about -2.7, or am I thinking of the wrong thing?)? How much for those? Are there any other T-1 pieces? I know about the springs, Sway bars, end links and bushings shocks and contol arms. So how much for the whole T-1 Conversion? I might like to go the for the whole enchilada!

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your post. We charge 2679.99 shipped for the whole kit! Let me know if you're interested. You are correct, the rest of the package is basically just the control arms.

Hey Gene,

I'm interested in the T1 Shocks. Front and rear. Are you firm with the prices posted on this thread ($620 shipped for 4 T1 shocks) or would you be willing to cut a deal for a little less?

Thanks.


:cheers: :cheers:

Thanks for the deals, Gene!

How about some low-buck cam specials for March? Something like the ASA and Hotcam with a set of Z06 springs would be cool. People not looking to go to the expense and trouble of running exotic springs and/or replacement heads would be interested in that. Might also post up a deal on bare LS6 heads for those that would need them for cores. The LS6 oilpump might be good too.

Thanks!
Dan - trying to decide on a cam but liking to torque curve on that ASA
