First off, ask a few hard questions:

1. Do you plan on keeping the C4? Any desire to get a C5 or C6?

2. Make sure whatever you do doesn't run afoul of Mass smog laws.

3. Whatever you do to the car will hurt its value, so be sure you are going to keep it and enjoy it.

With all that said, I would go with the full suspension package - Banski rear end kit, coil overs, bushings in the front, new wheel bearings, ujoints, frame reinforcement, etc.

Depending on miles, I would consider a ZF6 rebuild... in fact, I would consider it sooner than later, we don't know how much longer Bill B will be doing these boxes and one day will come when there won't be a God among us to do a proper rebuild. I hope he has documented his procedures...

Engine... I would that last. Make the car handle better and be more controllable, then worry about power.

I am not opposed to modifying a C4. Just be aware it's a very personal thing...



She just cracked 100k this morning. I have no plans of going to a C5 or anything newer, the car has more sentimental value to me than anything. My father has an identical car but with an auto behind the LT1. If I were to get a newer one, it would be an addition as opposed to a replacement haha

About the ZF, is there anything Bill can do to make it so that the clutch situation isn't such a nightmare next time? Haha

Good call on the suspension package, I was looking at 5ABIVT and his builds and he said he loves the coilover/banski setup he has.


The only thing that will fix the clutch issue is to get the engine built, and have it internally balanced.

Then you can be done with the DMFW for good.
