I removed the rear isolators on mine last summer... slammed as I can get with 275's front and 295 rears.

 

Mine? The rear, yes. The front, no. The wheel actually tucks under the fender lip. I am going to be going to weight jacks in the future, so that will take care of the gap in the rear.

 

I swap my sportlines for some intrax , and will be running 295s on 11" wheel, can't wait to see how it turns out


Oh I see lol
Try remove rear isolator
I plan to do same weight jacks of some sort

 

easiest and cheapest way to get a third gen as low as you can get it? dont really care too much about getting super nice parts, just want to get it low and stiffer suspension so it can handle sliding around a little bit more. Just fyi its the mpfi v6 so no idea what spring rates to use..

 

oh Mr. Fancy boy here with his awesome v6, lol just find factory rate spring numbers find how far yours are compressing is weight and then find out how high you want it then you have your height now for the higher rate use +%50 rate then calculate how much drop you would get at your weight on that rate then the height you want (difference between spring mounts at your desired ride height plus height lost from weight) and you have a spring rate and a uncompressed height the only other measurement is the cup size

 

not fancy at alllllllll. I bought the car for $400 spent a while working on it and getting it running and driving, now just want to have some fun with it without breaking the bank. Being a college kid and all thats kinda tough. lol i was thinking about just doing lowering springs, camber/caster plates with the raised strut mount, taking out the isolaters, getting solid bushings, and rear lower control arm relocation brackets. and then getting knuckles modified. just need to find someone to extend my front lca's a little bit.

my only questions are what are the extended ball joints for and is it worth it an extra $200-300 for the ground control coilover conversion versus just lowering springs? considering im just gonna have them as low as I can get them anyways? im not trying to be mr. cool or anything, im just asking legit questions to people who know more about this then i do and have experience with this. thanks

 

I said I was joking, and compaired to my **** v8 I had your v6 would be fancy, and ya I think springs is all you need, those ball joints give about an inch or 2 of height drop from as low as springs go but you hit **** first, wanna go real cheap? Cut a coil, want the preloaded performance cheap get a strut with some kind of limit or add the lower shocks from a second gen and get ones that max out before your height the il pull the springs to the desired height and increase the rate a bit

 

Was wondering if i could see more pics of your camaro looks nicee

 

Jersyboyy was wondering was size of camaro rims are those ?

 

this is my slammed car already scrapes my lip everywhere

 

just some 2" lowering springs and the oil pan scrapes on pebbles...first test drive after all these years of building it....and i cracked the pan!

 

After viewing this, I need to remove my rear isolators with 295's out back as well. I want on your level, HO! Eventually I will pony up and buy some weight jacks instead.

Will need to compensate up front by cutting my springs.

 

If only the roads were flat around here lol, wish I could slam my car a little but can't bear the potholes or bumps as bad it is when parking and the chin touching the curb.

 

Am I slammed?

 

HO!!! Lol! Yeah do it! I just cut my rear sportlines, but the 9" rear end I installed raised it slightly, so I'm not any lower

 

Ok these are lowered or slightly lowered, now lets see the slammed ones. Later.

 

 

Old project car

 

Lets call this the third gen Camaro slammed picture thread.....lol

 

sigh//coming back lower than ever..stay tuned...

 

Any pics yet??

 

MY GOD. If I could be in love with a vehicle it's this one. This is EXACTLY how I want my 92 RS to sit. what are the specs on your wheel/tire combo? I have a couple on my radar right now, but yours is delicious.


Think these with the Nitto Invo the guy says he is running on his Vette in the description would look like yours? http://www.ebay.com/itm/321700615909?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I was thinking of running 265/35r18 in the front and 285/35r19 in the rear. Your input will be MUCH appreciated!!

 

 

Not to low

 

Exactly the rear stance I will do.

You got a rought beautifull car mate.

 

Thanks you do as well

 

I can't wait to get in on this thread. LOL I'm half slammed currently. Gotta get my front bags in still.

 

I want more pictures of this car. Thats avery interesting look. Really easy to get that wrong but that seems to be a really well done look.

 

Infernal, he has a build thread with more pictures.

 

Dude!! love the dish mounted out the back!! cable tv while ripping! lol jk sweet ride man!

 

 

That looks awesome. I love it man!

 

Thx a lot. But the rear is not yet dropped (will need spacers too) I'm waiting my diff.

 

That rear fitment is spot on. What are the wheel and tire specs?

 

19x10.5 19x9.5
35 series tire 275 rear 255 front
There HRE 590rs

I Do want to push out front wheel out more and or put 275 tire on front

But may also tuck rear more and put wider tire idk yet we will see

I like it it's flush in rear it's harder to achieve in front unless I remove plastic wheel well and kinda don't want to do that as dirt will sling everywhere lol unless I raise car alittle

 

Those HRE's are a really unique look... I wasnt a fan at first but every time I see it I like it more.

Are they lighter than the XXR's you had previously?

 

Yes they are lighter

They will grow on you seeing in person there just plan bad ***

 

Man those look nice! Check out the ones I bought from you

 

The wheels on that car were 19x8.5 front 245/40 and 19x9.5 rear 275/35. im not sure what the diameter tire are yours but the may look almost the same. Those wheels are up for sale btw. Front left wheel has a slightly bent lip but is repairable.

 

Trade engine for wheels lol jk

Man your car looks sick

 

Pwrd what xxrs are those & rim specs?

 

Xxr531 18x11 rear 295/35 and I think fronts are 18x9 265/35. Front have been redrilled to 5x120mm and rears have an adapter 5x120mm to 5x114mm

 

NO DEAL!! lol I just finished the build and Im in the tuning phase now. Car is gonna be wrapped in black aluminum wrap soon.

 

That new car of yours has some nice patina to the paint. It looks pretty awesome as it sits! Keep up the good work.

 

I'm looking to go boost my self procharger kit
But I do have ls1 swap cammed stalled etc

 

Thanks, the wheels really look nice on red paint but up close this paint needs tons of help. Body is straight though. Gonna sand off the crappy MAACO clearcoat and then wrap it

That procharger will really wake up that LS1

 

HRE???? Dam those are serious "HIGH DOLLAR WHEELS" Touche to you brother, What is the offset front and rear? Size of the wheel and tire combo does not mean much when you do not know the back spacing/offset of the wheels...Thanks,....F****** nice ROC!!!

 

Yes they are...but, will you actually keep them this time? Haha, I've lost track of how many sets you've gone through.

 

Yea I will keep these for sure , I got lucky and got them thru a trade deal for some arc 8 wheels I used to have so I couldn't resist lol

All the wheels I've gotten since the chrome budnik have been gotten thru trades and or selling wheels to get the set I want I've luck out and thru the whole process I haven't spent much prob couple 100 bucks here and there and gas money that's about it out of pocket cost was not a factor cause there wasn't any it was a long process but worth it

Barter trade and sell lol

Stupid light 19lb 18x10 all around

Looking for a 18x10 track setup tho !!!

 

Sorry for dirty car had just moved
