With 8 quarts in the system, the need for a larger capacity filter is probably less a concern than using a quality filter. https://www.newcaprice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4727#p34490 Rebate until 12/31 for ACD filters - limit 2 (per address): https://www.rockauto.com/Images/CurrPromoFiles/...

you could find yourself running into wheel clearance issues with the brakes - rear brakes MIGHT clear 16", but front will not.

Hey Bill, thanks for the Great advise and direction as always. Do you know if the OEM pads on the PPVs are semi metalic since they work so good and create alot of dust or could they be a Ceramic /Carbon blend of some sort? Only saw this just now - the pad material on OEM PPV pads is the Ferodo HP10...

Proper seat support is probably one of the things that would help, and a 4-point (or more) harness. https://www.schrothracing.com/post/street-legal-harnesses Obviously if you were to get really serious, there's tires/wheels, sway bars, springs (to a lesser degree) and possibly shocks to consider.

the front knuckle changed from cast iron/steel to aluminum with VF/WN update - so GMH increased the width of the knuckle where it fits into the clevis on the strut for equivalent strength to the VE/WM version.

1. Sway bars are larger with WN 2. More aluminum parts in suspension 3. Front knuckle is wider where it fits into clevis on strut - same as VF 4. OE springs may provide slightly higher ride height in WN You shouldn't have any issue fitting the Pedders coil overs on the PPV. There is a coil-over kit ...

What mating flange do they have on them? The PPV and the SS's had different styles of mating flanges or some reason. Other than that I am not sure if there is any difference internally. I compared the two side by side and they have all thee same stamping's and such. Not sure if internal design is d...

Deposit accepted - if deal falls out, will re-list this kit.
