where in vancouver is the best place to get after market parts for the RL? the parts that im looking for are:
-k&n cai
-3.0 pulley
-lower springs
-torque brace

[my_bd]

if you want to buy the K&N and/or lowering springs locally, then probably Lordco or Mopac

you can usually buy them cheaper off of ebay or from a u.s. dealer though...

the pulley, I don't know where you'd get it locally by itself.
if you buy a GM stage 2 kit then it will come with the pulley, you can buy the kit through a GMPP dealer or via Saturn (soon).
but then again, much cheaper to buy the kit from the u.s.

online sources for pullies and pulley kits are billetflow.com, pulleyboys.com, southfloridapulleyhq.com, and intense-racing.com

the torque brace you have to buy online from torqueforward.com or ingallseng.com

what would be best if im just getting a single torque brace Front or rear? and also is the strut bar that they sell pretty good?

[my_bd]

my brace would be somewhat similar to what torqueforward sells these days.
I only have the front mount brace.

the ingalls unit is new and from the looks it would be functionally the same as the tf brace

in my humble opinion a single brace is helpful, but not enough.
good for street launch assistance, but lacks at the track.

so i complemented the brace with a poly filled zzperformance engine mount and front tranny mount

I like the looks of the latest revision of the torqueforward rear mount brace that mounts underneath the car behind the tranny.
it looks like it would be a good complement to the front mount brace.

I have the "Jason Smith" strut tower brace and rear support bar.
they are meticulously built and I am very pleased with them and how they firm up the car.

I have heard from others that the torqueforward unit(s) are essentially the same as the js units.

If you want to buy from Canada, I've got 18 sets of pulley/hubs made. I'm selling them for $140CDN....but the pulley is 2.86".
