Yes. There are 2 reasons to buy aftermarket 2nd gen frame, IMHO. 1) bling. I appreciate that, as fine a reason as there is, no knocks here. 2) racing. If the answer is 3) great street car, it's relatively easy to make a 2nd gen a great street car with a stock frame.

While I was at SEMA I talked to a lot of folks out there. Engineering types and drivers. These seem to be the favorites at this time.

Art Morrison uses vette parts, so replacement parts are out there. I've spoken with Matt at AME and would not hesitate to use their stuff.

Considered by most to be the class of the lot. Mark Steilow uses their stuff for a reason. Mostly proprietary parts, but very well done by all accounts, and priced accordingly.

By all accounts their latest stuff is very good. I spoke with Mary and Dave Pozzi at SEMA about heidt's car, which Mary raced at a suspension challenge super chevy magazine did. She thought the Heidts stuff performed very well. I dare say surprisingly well.

I can't think of any other 2nd gen SF I'd buy.

If stock frame is the eventual choice, perhaps call Keith http://www.customworksproducts.com/ or Mark at http://www.scandc.com/suspensions.htm



Hold a gun to my head today I'm going AME. I like OE parts a lot. All 3 options are better than my driving ability.

Feather-light suspension, Konis just couldn't hold. I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors.
