I had my install done @ ls1speed today in the morning. Showed up @ 9 am left by 12 . After a brief conversation with Mike and a phonecall to Larry everything went smoothly.

i had these installed :

torque arm

shocks

springs ( 1" drop )

relocation brackets

panhard bar

lower control arms

i already had sfc and stb done

and omfg on a smooth pavement this setup absolutely rocks !

i can turn and accelerate like a mofo without loosing much traction

but oh man i went over some " uneven surfaces " and across the train tracks and almost lost all of my teeth :lol:

well it wasnt that bad but YOU can tell there is a different suspension in :)

overall im very happy

thumbs up to ls1speed ppl for keeping their word

Sounds good! I plan on going to Speed inc next spring to get a similar set up.

What kind of springs and shocks did you go with?
How do you like your new torque arm? Any issues with it?
How does your ride quality feel at highway speeds?

bilstein shocks and bmr springs with 1 inch drop

torque arm is fine

ride quality has improved a lot on highway but in the city it has diminished by whole lot especially on bumpy roads it can get pretty rough speed bumps are a pain too i have to take my sweet time when going over one or im gonna scrape my bottom.
