      New Pro-Touring build

      I am building a full bore Pro-Touring 2nd Gen Trans Am. My hope is to out peform the BRE YearOne cars. I could use advice on picking a front subframe and rear suspension setup. I have roughly $20K bugeted for that part of the build.

      Currently considering the follwing three vendors but am open to suggestions.

      The powerplant is a 750HP IA2 block Pontiac from SD Peformance. The heads, intake, etc have all been polished and are being powder coated in clear as we speak. It will run an evac kit, Vintage Air and most likely will have a hydro boost brake setup if I can find one with no plastic parts. This will be as much show as go so it has to look the part as well as function.

      I already have the motor ordered, have a lot of the BRE upgraded body parts such as the fiberglass front end and their custom door panels, custom dash insert, etc.

      Still need to pick seats and have a roll bar of some sort in. I am considering the ridetech since it bolts in, looks sharp and the car is a T-Top car. It is pretty expensive but really is a show stopper in looks with the advantage of stiffing the frame a bit.

      The one part I will have to buy from DSE is their mini-tubs.

      So what recommendations do you have for the suspension setup?
