Was asked this by a few folks, so I thought I'd ask everyone here:
Would anyone here consider suspension upgrade parts available through GM Service Parts or Performance Parts?
Thinking things like:
Stiffer springs,
Specialized shocks, (maybe with some height adjustment)
Front and/or Rear Stabilizer Bar upgrades (with bushings, stiffer rubber or urethane)
Control Arm Bushings
-and if you are considering these, can they be just stiffer (higher durometer) rubber, or would you expect see urethane replacement bushings available?
Steering Wheel
Seat
Brake Pads, Rotors, Apply system upgrades, Cooling ducts
Engine enhancements
Other stuff I can't think of off the top of my head...
What would you really consider picking up at GM S.P.O. to upgrade your car? Are there price points where you would say "P*ss off GM, I'm going to Eibach for springs 'cause I can get them for $??.??"
Would you just be building a street prepped car, or are you thinking autocrossing or competing nationally, or are you thinking road racing or something else I haven't thought of.
If GM were to develop parts like this, what expectations are there?
