Dealer quoted me 10hrs labor ($200/hr) plus parts. Ended up getting it done by RPM plus added an Eaton Truetrac for about $1,800 out the door.

Gunmetal how do you like the 3.73 gears? I was planning to do the 3.91 soon as probably my final power mod on this car.

From doing my research on this sight the main things that are always mentioned are trailing arms and toe rods to prevent wheel hop, which can break a lot of things left unchecked.

That would almost work for me too. I'm really upset they stopped making the SS so soon. Would have loved a 4 door manual with a big V8. Pretty much my ideal car in the current age of hybrids and sub...

Thanks guys. I sent RPM an email. Broadview's labor rate is nearly $100 less than the Chevy dealership's, so that sounds like a great deal.

Yeah with the eibach springs and struts it's already got a pretty stiff ride, so if I were to do anything with sways I would likely just get a mildly stiffer rear and leave it at that.
