    Hows it wrong??? When something is designed and mass manufactured all the components are able to withstand the tolerances it was made for, let say for eg you change the cam in your TB42 for one that has a higher lift ( performance) and keep the rest standard, the bigger lobes on the cam are going to put more stress on the push rods and valve springs. Their tolerance is suited for standard so eventually breaking or bending from the added strain!!

    Get what i'm saying ???

    The power that my setup will produce will have no affect on any suspension components unless i choose the wrong spring and damper rates then my handling and drivability will be compromised. The weak link could be the actual motor i choose to run.

    The cars at wreckers are usually rolled or flood damaged vehicles and cars that have been wiped out on the rd and anyway they just scrap GQ bodies coz they're rusted out anyway.

    So you just said that you need GU's to make GQ's tougher !!!!!!!

    Depends on what mods are done, upgrading to thicker controls arms is more like an upgrade than a modification, cutting a dirty big hole in your bonnet for an intercooler makes it weaker by removing its reinforcement, not a upgrade thats a mod!
