(see full post)- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.I called and ordered direct from BMR. Cannot remember the fellows name, may have been Jason?

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S197 build.I am sure the infamous Blacksheep 1 will be chatting with you soon and don't be afraid to ask him questions as he is not near as mean as he tries to appear. The problem is he believes he is a cantankerous old red neck and wants to keep that... (see full post)

TMSBOSS replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Expert…..nope! Just wondering how close the clearance is on the opposite side. (see full post)
byronj replied to the thread Suspension soft?.The GC set up shaved 3 seconds off my lap times.The DSC controller can be installed and removed in a matter of minutes. I wouldnt do a DSC with other springs unless you want to do your own programming. They program it to work with FP or OE... (see full post)-

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?.Heh, who said I didn't like Whiskey! I have a bottle or two handy and one of those is support of my good Canadian friends -----Crown Royal is a long time family tradition begun in the early 60s!!
