Very nice 'vert

Didn't think I'd like an iroc wheel that big, but it looks good on your car

Welcome to the site!

Re: Just joined....

Thanks for the kind words. Was going for more of a pro-touring look and thought if i can get away w/a big wheel and a drop of an inch or so that it would come together. I really debated going w/an 18" wheel but am happy w/the choice...plus the roads i normally travel are pretty good, smooth country roads.

Great car. How do you like the light bar from Hawks? Few people on here looking for them lately.

Re: Just joined....

Cars look so good in the rain!!

Well done and welcome to TGO. Lots of info on this board over the years.

before sways, I would do a set of subframe connectors. It makes the car feel... newer. It gets rid of frame flex, rattles, squeaks and it lets the suspension work as it was designed to. spohn sways are great on my iroc but they will be a giant improvment over the RS sway bars. Even a cheap used IROC sway bar would work good if you find one for a few bucks. Goodluck
