what should I do next?

Well I just bought ROH Snyper 17x9 rims for my camaro. I was wondering what I should do next to the car. Some things I thought of are:

*a new exhauust (mine is stock)
*springs to lower my car a little and stiffen the suspension
*posi traction in the rear
*new brake system (very expensive)
*fog lights in front with fog light panel
*new shifter

Those are some ideas I am throwing out. Please offer your opinions on what I should do next etc....

THANKS!

Personally, I'd definitely lower it first. You have a nice looking car there, and I'd be scared to visually change too much. But lowering would be my first change.

Yea Exhaust was kind of my first choice. I currently
don't even have a muffler on it cause the strap broke
and I had no reason to put it back on since I planned
on getting an exhaust soon. What kind of exhaust
would you recommend? I wanted probably 3 inch
pipes.. Are duels an option???

As for lowering it what kind of springs or whatever
would you recommend?

THANKS!

Look for pics of RSpeed's car, his is a black RS with wheels like your and the Eibach Sportline springs... looks killer. I'd go with those springs if I had that car, but it's pretty low, I'm assuming you're willing to live with the scraping of the GFX, taking steep inclines at angles, etc etc for the look? I'd get a Z28/IROC-Z grille. I think they r like 50$ or so from third gen resource, not sure exactly how much, can't remember. As for exhaust, flowmaster will get you a good agressive sound, but it's a sound that ALOT of people have. Hooker is different, out-flows flowmaster(hehehe, ironic) and looks pretty good. 200$ for the Hooker from jegs, can't beat that with a stick. Ask Mark A Shields about it, he's the hooker spokesman.

If you are a looks before performance person, I'd lower it and add foglights. If you're a performace before looks person, I'd put an exhaust system on it.

Sweet looking car, by the way

Tight looking ride man! :hail:

I just lowered mine with a set of intrax 2 inch drop srpings and they feel great! I'd definately complete the suspensions stuff now, so that you'll get used to the feel of the car by the time you put more power into, and you'll know how to get it through town without getting scraped up by the time you really get it going with the fog-lamps and looks stuff.

Hooker headers and Hooker cat-back. Sound clip of the cat-back and Edelbrock headers is in my sig.

I'd go with exhaust too.
