Whats the next step for my Camaro?
I'd like some input on what I should do next with my '91 RS.
If my ideas aren't the best I would appreciate some suggestions.
What I'm considering:
Doug's Headers electric cutout
Ls1 brakes or rear disc conversion
Strut Tower Brace
Tints
Struts/Shocks
Subs+Amp
Hypertech Chip
What I have:
Stainless Steel Hooker Headers + Y-pipe
Hooker Cat-Back exhaust system + Magnaflow 18" tips
Custom fabricated "triple snorkel" air cleaner
Sylvania Silverstar performance headlights
Hotchkis subframe connectors
K&N high flow filters
TDS Wonderbar
A couple pictures

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?
how sold are on the 100% white exterior?
your car looks to be in great shape, but I can't think of anything more bland than a all white RS.
heritage stripes, black out buckets, something... anything...

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?
I don't love the stripes to be honest, I thought about doin' the headlights I just kinda figured there's better ways to spend my money. Personally I really like the solid white that's why I have such a hard time deciding if I should change anything.

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?
well if you like it, keep it! From what I see, it's the only thing I would possibly change to a car that seems to be in fantastic shape

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?
Yeah its immaculate, still amazed I stumbled upon it on the side of the road. I'm pretty satisfied with how it looks though so I'm leaning toward performance upgrades. Not saying I wont change anything aesthetically I'm just trying to keep it as classy as possible

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?
Strut tower brace and LS1 brake conversion would be my top choices on your list, I've done both and they're a must have, unless you are gonna spend more money on even bigger brakes.

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?
I found this conversion where you use your own rotors, calipers and brake pads would you recommend the full kit or would this do the trick?

Re: Whats the next step for my Camaro?
You can do it a lot cheaper than $375. I cut down my own spindles with a ban saw and filed them smooth, then a friend at a shop cut down the rotors to make the hubs for like $30. I did spend the money to get the brackets from EB Miller which I believe we're $75 at the time, I'm sure that site carries them by themselves too.
