Question Ok , help,,,,which generation LS has the

most body/suspension aftermarket options to make a sweet looking and riding sorta ok(not a pogo stick) slammed 400????

Like a camber kit so it doesn't eat tyres, and so forth..........

I guess coilovers are the way to go..........RIGHT???

Really don't want to spend more than 15K on the basic car......then go crazy on the Mods

Thanks

GC

BTW, hate to ruin the stock 03 UL 430 I just got.....


I do believe the LS is the kewlest of them all.......

Thanks, your personal site was been rewarded, does a 95/96 have a 4 or 5 speed? and more power?

Thanks Peter

cool, thx!
the 95 has a 4-speed, 10 more hp and 10 more tq comparing to 1st gen. However, they have certain body lines that some might not like.
