Oh, how I wish I looked at a Firebird with the Y87 package on it. OH well. Now I gotta waste money on it. Can someone give me a breakdown of the changed components and the prices for each? I really want that LSD but I have no clue about costs. Whoever does the breakdown and gives prices gets a [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] ;)

Ok, I don't know all the prices, but here is the breakdown:
LSD: Parts: $100 (SLP) Labor: $200-400 depending on shop
3.42 Gears (auto only): Parts: $289.99 (Tbyrne) Labor: install with LSD
14.4:1 Power steering ratio: no idea of cost. I believe you need the whole steering column.
Dual exhaust: Go aftermarket. The stock one barely makes a noise and has the "noodle" tips.
235/55R16 Tires: Not worth upgrading to. They suck (Goodyear GA's)
4 wheel discs: No clue.
The best way to get the rear discs, 3.42 gears, and LSD is to find a TA or SS (in junkyard or wrecked online) and pull the whole rear axle. It should be a lot less than trying to buy everything separate and the install wouldn't be too bad.

Awesome! Thanks for the replies. :D Yeah, I should go junk-yard shopping. Would save me some major dough. I just want some better handling/breaking for the winter :(2002 NBM Firehawk #312 | <a href=\"http://hawk.visionsconnect.com\" target=\"_blank\">hawk.visionsconnect.com</a>Comment

No you need the steering rack not really worth the trouble or expense thow you could get one from a Z or T/A but it only makes the wheel turn 1/4 less.2002 M5 Bright Metallic Silver <br />*Fully loaded and modded<br /><br />2005 GSXR 750<br />*Micron Serpent Race Exhaust *K&N Filter *Power Commander *Trying to hit 200 MPH!<br /><br />1970 SS 454 Chevelle Cortez Silver<br />*It can pass anything but a gas stationComment

Doh! I meant whole rack, not whole column. And I agree, it would be too much money for the trouble (unless you could get it from a wrecked one for really cheap).

Kumho Supra 712's, go to tirerack.com
and look these up. They are priced very reasonably and have a very aggressive tread design, they are also some of the best tires I have seen for wet performance. I went with 255/45/17 and others have gone much wider (275) but this is on 17"+ rims. I don't think you can go over 255 with your 16's.

I'm also looking for tires for my car. I'm not to sure about the Khumos, I haven't heard much about them. I have heard a lot of good things about the Firestone Firehawks or G-force TA on Tirerack.com in 245/50/R16, I'm a college student but am willing to spend the extra cash for tires that don't make me deaf as they wear out.. Also, for a rearend at a junkyard, you are going to be running about $600 and if you get one from a z28 or TA, it needs to be a six speed to have 3.42s, the best way to check is the factory codes on the door.
