well..here it is:

 

kind of crappy pictures...it was about to rain..had to hurry up. I'll get some new pictures whenever it gets nice again.

 

I found my next mod.

Looks great!

 

last one..due to the rules

 

oooo that looks friggin sweet!!!! :hail:

 

WOW, quite the improvement, that car is loowwww!

 

Looks awesome!

How's the ride? Not quite as good for handling as the Pro-kit, but I'd imagine it's still a lot better than stock!

 

dude ur car is soo sweet!! I LOVE IT.
if i dont sell mine, thats what i had/have in mind for it to look like

 

thanks guys

well, the ride seems alot different...seems much stiffer to me. The best part..is that nothing scrapes or anything. I thought I would have had some issues with the exhaust..but..since I drove it home..it's fine

 

I LOVE YOUR CAR!!!!!!!! :hail:

 

And you were worried about the tires rubbing.

 

Lookin good man! I wish I would be able to get out of my driveway with her that low! So whats next? hmm blower?

 

another joins the sportline group , glad to have you aboard, and it looks much better the way it is now .

 

looks really good cant wait to do all my suspension stuff this winter


Off topic; what kind of fender scoops r those? 2nd gem firebird right?

 

1980-1981 Z28 Fender Louvers, PM me if you need some info..I've post a few thread about'em and the installation

 

looks awesome man.. i've found that i bottom out less to (after installing lowering springs), probably since the stiffer springs and shocks dont give as much..

 

Did you buy yours from www.performancecenter.com ??How much was your setup? If you dont mind me asking...

 

I actually bought them from ww.tirerack.com got a very good price on them...for $194.00. Next..I'll change the struts/shocks

 

nice!

 

wait you have them on stock struts and shocks right now?

 

Damn that looks good!I decided on sportlines.:hail:

 

yep

 

they are sweet springs

 

DAMN!!!!!!

I'm not a fan of the Camaro's, but man that is one **** hot car!!!!:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Looks much much better. Your new found handeling will really make your car fun. I love my sportlines.

 

lets see if I can sneek this one in

I've tryed to make these look a little more sharper...still doesn't look all the great. The car was dirty....just got it back from getting it lowered...and it was about to rain. I'll be sure to get some much better pictures when it's clean and nice outside

 

SSSSSAAAAAAAAWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEET!!!
That thing looks sooo nice.
It will handle even better w/new struts!

 

So much better! I love sportlines...... Thats why they are going in my GTA!!!!

 

No other suspension mods? Do you get wheel hop now?

 

Im buyin sportlines also with bilsteins. Hmm i could buy them next week or get my cyclinder heads.

 

not sure...I don't race or anything...so..I won't be finding out I got these for appearance/show reasons only..but..I can always upgrade with other suspension mods if the time comes. Can you believe I've never even burned my tires before? My tires only chirp a little when turning while it shifts

 

Well when the time comes for you to stand on it be prepared for a loss of traction since you lowered your car. LCA relocation brackets will correct that in a jiffy.

 

looks awesome, i need some new springs asap.

 

Great looking car but yeah, my prokits caused loss of traction. The LCA geometery is out of line

Also, did your rear end loose center? Usually when you lower the car, the rearend will kick out toward the driver side. Need a adjustable panhard bar and shorten it up to keep wheels centered. My did with prokit so yours should move out lot more.

 

and how do you know if the rear end lost center? The only thing I notice is that it's a much stiffer ride...that's it. My brother has had his sportlines on for over 3 years now with stock suspension...with no problems at all. Again, only for looks....not for handling or racing..

 

If anyone wants to get Eibach springs and not get the wheelhop problem, thunderracing (sponsor!) sells a kit with the springs, brm lca relocation brackets and adj phr for $360.

It says that it comes with the Prokit, but they'll substitue the sportlines if you ask. You could probably get a poly/rod phr too for a little more money instead of the poly/poly that it comes with.

 

the drivers side rear tire will be poking outside the wheel well, while the other pass. side wil be tucked in more. The whole rear end assembley shifts to the left.

 

Yeah you are supposed to get an adjustable panhard bar when you lower it.

 

that's good to know..but...my car..or my brothers car seem to be fine...doesn't seem that the rear is out of line at all.

 

...to add to the "off center issue" this will also cause your tires to wear out faster, since it's out of proper alignment. You'll probably never notice since the car still seems to drive straight, but it WILL cause tire wear.

....I believe it's called the thrust angle. Anyone know for sure?

 

I think the only thing that will happen with my tires will be flat spots...from sitting in the garage. If it was a daily driver...or driven more..I could see how it would be possible for the tires to wear faster...but...trust..me, they won't..because I rarely get it out. I would get it out alot more if there were maybe some car clubs there were 3rd gen or even muscle car related...but...around here...there is absolutely nothing..just a buch or r*cers....

 

yeah you need an adjustable pan hard bar, i got one with the stock springs due to mine being off center, but i'll tell you i got lakewood lower control arms and the adj panhard and i noticed a difference in handling for the better, i need springs though

what size tire/rim combo do you have on that? it looks sweet

 

Thanks man, I'm running P275/40/R17's all around. I probably won't be upgrading the suspension anytime soon...and handling is cool and stuff....but I don't care to much about it..because it's all for appearance. I could see if I road raced, raced at the track..ect...but I don't.

 

Bro...... looks great! I can't wait to lower mine sometime next spring!!! No rubbing? I only hope I'm that fortunate, mine rub now!!!! I'm just gonna roll that lip in the rear fender, that should help. Looks awesome!:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Your car looks great.If your just crusin on the weekends ,I agree with you and would not worry too much about the rear set up.I have seen and owned alot droped f-bodies over the years and they did fine as far as the rear was concerned...you will loose traction but like you said your not drag racing...I have the pro kit on the bird heres a pic to give some idea of the differnce between the two kits.I still race so I did not want to get too low.

 

well if your rear seem like its doing good and not poking out then leave it as is and just keep an eye on tire wear.

Looks great!! LOL

 

Car looks good, but the exhaust tips are fugly

 

hmm..that's weird..I don't remember asking about my exhaust tips?

I'm running quad 3 1/2 tips....I guess maybe I should have went with a fart tube

 

no, you should have gone with much, much smaller tips that do not stick out so far past the bumper.

 

who are you to say what he "should" have done lol
