Finally, wheels/tires and brake .
SUSPENSION
I found a 32mm 1LE hollows sway bar on Ebay for a real deal and a 23 mm rear sway bar that i bought from a friends .
You can see the difference betwene the 17mm and the 23mm that come from a 3gen WS6
Plus the deal of a life time on Ebay for an Aluminum double adjustable Panhard bar. Really easy to instal but a little more tought to align right.
I instaled a set of Eibach prokit spring. A good 1.8 inch drop for the LS1. I put a set of KYB agx adjustable struts up front. Still need to change the rear shock with KYB agx too.
Here it's not the best pics ever but you can see the diference in the wheel space.
Before after.
Plus for more rigidities i put a strut-tower bar from
