Look at the aluminum spacer for the sway bar. Guldstrand sells these. What to they do?

Probably doesnt change location as the stock unit has a stamped steel spacer there also. Maybe reduces flex or adapts to aftermarket bar mount? Check out the lower a-arm mod to lower the spring pocket.
Not a bad looking caliper. Wonder what kind those are?

Thank you for the link. I had one of the leftover Challenge engines in my C4 for a while. It had been found with several others in a warehouse and they were quickly bought up. It was in the car when I bought it years ago.

GM did have a set of experimental 3 piston brake calipers that racers could buy. Sort of like the thick cheek brake rotors GM provided for C5 racers but much harder to get.

There was a lot of testing going on during the challenge days. The challenge was a great deal for both the racer and GM. The engineers worked closely with the teams to make not only the racecar better, but also the street version. The racers had a place to race and the engineers had a place to test. The challenge had some of the best drivers around, put 30 cars in a field and test data comes back very fast.
I don't remember the 3 piston calipers, but I was very young back then.
