Try UMI Performance's website and see what they have. They should have anything you need

What about the Spohn stuff? I'd get the torque arm that mounts to the cross member or change your trans mount to the energy suspension one if you don't mind d vibrations or the 4th gen type so you don't tear the stock one apart.

Re: 1985 iroc z
A poly transmission mount should have come from the factory on these torque arm cars, Do yourself a favour and be sure to get one of those as well. The stock trans mounted torque arm bracket is fine unless you are going to increase power substantially ( north of 400whp ) but I also recommend a poly torque arm bushing up front as well. Out back the stock rear lower control arms work fine if you box them in with some welded flat stock and use the 1LE ( high durometer ) bushings. We put these in the last build we did and they seem to perform every bit as well as the poly/tubular arms and dont have the same level of harshness. The stock panhard rod is poo, I would upgrade that as well. IIRC there was or is an outfit called founders performance or something like that who sold low price but decent looking suspension components for third gens. You'll probably have better luck checking out what the fourth gen guys run over at LS1tech as the rear suspension is identical between third and fourth gens.
thirdgen.org as well if you havent found that site yet is the biggest information resource for these cars. Have fun
