You have come to the right place. Check
this site out too. And check out this link too.
here Hope this helps you out on the swap info. I haven't tried any of the aftermarket brake setups so I can't help you there. Are you asking about street tire setups? I like 15" and 16" wheels so my tire suggestions are different than others who like the big wheels. Right now I got 215/65/15's and when they wear out, I plan on getting some 255/55 or so. There have been numerous debates about transmissions on this board. Personally, I'd rather have a C4. But the AOD can be built to handle some serious power. Just look at Lentech's site.
