looks GREAT dude well done

 

I forgot to post measurements...

Ground to fender-
Front: 24.5"
Rear: 25"

Front crossmember: 3"
Cats: 3"
Muffler: 2.75"

 

Pretty low with the BBC

 

i agree...i like the tucked in look.i thought about spindles to go with lowering springs or cutting a spring off to lower it more..what did you do..looks good dude dbltke

 

Can someone tell me what the stock ground to fender height is? I just picked up and put in some cheap lowering springs and would like to see how big the difference is.

Thanks

 

I know this car, it's the badest *** 3rd gen on the planet, 6.0 twin turbo w/ 4th gen int. did you buy this from the guy who built it or are you the builder? This car is so awesome, I wish I had the 20k when it was up for sale cause I would have bought it in a heart beat!!!

 

Not sure how I never posted in this thread. Here's ma riide.

 

Looks freaking amazing Stephen. I actually have a pic of your car on my computer somewhere because i remember that grille with the intercooler never knew it was your car. Your old wheels are looking good on my s10 right now! lol.

 

 

Pics or GTFO. I kinda wanna see what it looks like.

LOL yea thats my beast, making progress again on it this week, well if you call cutting the rad support out progress...

 

Sportlines on mine...

 

Hey Stevo your rear axle looks off center in the wheel well.

 

I believe it was somewhere around 28"

 

Hey what wheels are these???

 

CCW LM5s

 

Sure looks to be the same car?

 

It is, thats I think 4 years ago and 3 sets of wheels. LOL

 

Nice kind of like the picture i just posted of my car lol.

 

SLAMMIN!

 

looks dope!! ^^ XXR wheels? was looking at those in gold..

 

Yes they are XXR wheels. I just sold them on my teal car to Stevo so i figured he would want to see a pic of them on max slam when i had them on my IROC. I liked the wheels.

BUT I LOVE MY CCWs!!!

 

looks good...i love the grille mod

 

DO IT! will look sick.

lots of nice rides in this thread

I need to get some new, better pics of mine

 

What's your suspension/rim set up? Thanks

 

Front is Spohn coil overs, rear is BMR springs, wheels are CCW LM5s black anodized center with polished lip 18x9.5 front and 18x11 in the rear.

 

Thanks for the info!

Would you know the offsets by any chance? Also, what size tires are you running?

I'm thinking about getting a set of classics!

 

I think I'm finally happy with the ride Height. Now I have to play the spacer game to get it flush. I also have to try and find a solution to prevent my a-arms from bottoming out on the k-member and the axle tube from bottoming out on the inner fender. And that's happening without bumpstops, I've got about .75"-1" of clearance. At the same time I have to prevent the dampers from bottoming out, in other words I need more strut/shock travel. Currently I'm trying to find a shorter strut/shock solution but I'm not coming up with many options. I'm finding that it's a lot more difficult to slam a 3rd gen F-Body than my GTI was.

 

DBLTKE- That looks so great, but I can't imagine actually driving it!

I have built a couple mini trucks so I understand your addition to low... get your self prepared for the next step... airbags!

 

Mine was pretty low up front, had some air in the helper bags so the back was up a little higher than normal.




I scraped the Spohn K member on pretty much every bump and drug my exhaust everywhere. Finally raised it back up a little last fall.

 

Stock ride height was about 27" front and 27,5" rear measured at the highest point of the wheel arch. That is +/- .5" due to manufacturing tolerances and stuff.

 

thanks a lot, looks like I'm down about 2 inches now!

 

perfect stance.

 

Dropped spindles for the front & dropped shocks for the rear. Arent you usong adjustable struts/shocks?!?!?!?

 

I'm considering drop spindles. But my race wheels/tires are 17x9' with 285/40/17 tires. I think I would have interference problems with the tie rod end. I also plan to run 18 or 19x10 or 11 up front eventually. I have been keeping my eye on the racecraft drop spindles that are designed for rack and pinion steering. I think the steering arm might be short enough to fit inside the wheel barrel.

I've never heard of "dropped shocks." care to expand a little on that subject?

And yes, I do have adjustable struts but they shitty KYB's. They are a little overwhelmed by the 800/200lb springs I have now.

 

Drop shocks for dropped trucks, nitro shocks i think was a name of a brand. My old camaro I just bought back has belltech 2" drop spindles with GC but im running koni reds all around. Ride is good with 18x8.5 &18x8

 

for everyone running weight jacks..how are they overall? worth it?

 

I like it, you have adjustability of height. It all depends on what you are looking & wanting out of it. My camaro handles well, but its about time to rebuild the front supension. I have another set for my Formula that will go in after the SFC's & suspension mods.

 

hmm alright..thanks dude

 

hey 87350IROC, if i may ask.. what color is your car..? I use it as my inspiration and my goal. It's also my desk pic. Last weekend I picked up a burgundy 87 5.7 and going to restore it to stock except for the front stance. Just wondering what color it is..

stone

 

My solution for more shock travel front and rear.

Front



Rear

 

It is GM 74U - Dark Red Metallic

Neat color, it can look orange, red, or purple depending on the light. Example of all three in one picture:

 

all your cars look great and everything guys but this is the slammed thread..post more pics please!!!

 

April from San Antonio,Tx

 

And a my buds 1992 formula ........

 

both look good but i cant tell if they are slammed :P

 

The 92 is mine and isn't as slammed as I would like it. I do have racecraft front suspension with spindles. It's as low as I can go with k member and six speed crossmember. I am admiring all the other cars here. Thumbs up

 

 

Well here's mine! 2in drop. [IMG][/IMG]

 

That is a very cleeeeeaaan Iroc! Are those some older Centerline wheels? They look great on there what ever they are.

 

I think this picture tells me everything I need to know why I will NEVER buy a 5th gen Camaro.
