Well I think we are pretty much in the same area

Sorry I have been taking a year off after I rolled my car and just started to get back at looking at it (or whats left). I think you will be happy with Dave's stuff and I like the spring rates he runs. He has been real busy lately but more so challenged with some of his suppliers (leaf springs in particular), its best to call him but as many have mentioned you will need to be patient. Maybe ask him what he has in stock vs what he is waiting on and go from there.

My car has custom Wilwood front brakes we pieced together and the rear is the off the sheld wilwood 12 inch kit with e brake. Dave's brakes look good and the other supplier I really like is Kore 3 in Oregon so close to you. They do great C5kits if you want to keep it GM. I actually use their front hubs for my brakes.

Hey man a bunch of the guys I race with from Vancouver went to Mary Hill Climb last year, I had rolled my car by then so I missed out. It looks real cool but some were worried about the long drop offs and distance from corner workers (I can tell you its nice when they come to save your bacon after a crash).

For tires you might want to look at tires that are 285/17 vs the 275/17, they look better in the wheel wells. I have some 275s on my YO snowflakes but think I will move the 285s, Nitto and Contental has that size.

Good luck with the new parts, they are pretty much what I have on my car (or my new car).
