New rims ;)
 
Finally got rid of the stock salad shooters and picked up KLAB's old rims. Really changed the look of my car for the better and I personally love the way it looks! Next up is a Bilstein/Strano setup so get rid of the truck stance.

Those look great on that car, damn it sits high though! Bigger wheels always make the stance look higher.

The stranos and a hose mod will help it out big time

I would be VERY interested. And that gives me an excuse to come check out your car. Pm me a price on the setup?

Camaro9969 01-09-2013 12:38 AM

ya just give me a little time to gather up some front shocks and springs for my car to throw on. I'll send you my phone number and keep in touch.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 01-09-2013 12:42 AM

keep in mind the spring rate on the LS1 springs is different then LT1. as the LT1 is heavier So it will dump the nose of the car quite a bit.

Yeah the LT1 has like 80 someodd pounds over the LS1, I'm aware. Worst comes to worse I'll just get LT1 made springs
