My son just got done doing a full UMI tube front end with Viking Coilovers.

Also took the time to replace the 170k mile old oil pan gasket that has been leaking for years.

The car is now full UMI suspension front and rear.

Still waiting on the swaybars to show up so we can get some that fit better. The OEM end links are all jacked up on the control arms but driveable.

I do not. When I bought it, it looked like a normal black on black Z28 M6 with chrome C5Z wheels. Chrome and I do not get along so they went in the scrap dumpster after the flaking bothered me. That's when I switched to the poor man's drag pack with GTO spares up front, C4ZR1 replicas 17x11 with drag radials and Weld 15x10 with slicks, depending what I was doing.

Previous owner did forged internals with Trex cam, supposedly built T56 (turned out to be very broken internally), and the 12 bolt strange rear with 3.73 spool. Had a weird module for nitrous but the company went out of business and nobody knew how to use it so it went in the dumpster. Focused heavily on it for a few years and at least 10% of the car went in the dumpster. Full suspension including K member, fuel system, HKE 408, Greg Goode LS3 heads, TDP built the T56, ditched factory dash for a gauge cluster with Autometer gauges, and I'm certain other things I've forgotten.
