Pauly and I got some work done on the camaro this weekend.
Quick teaser pic ... (from my crappy cell-phone camara.)
And here is one of Hardcore, working on those pesky a-arms.

Yup.
I would have had pictures up tonight, but had a slight bit of trouble, with the *cough* missing...ummmm, USB cable for the camera. |

Are you going to be setting the height near the same? What's the spring rate compared to your current setup? _________________

Right now it is down real low, seems to be doing fine there. Spring rates are 750# front 175# rear. I wouldn't mind a little stiffer, at some point I'm probably going to go to 800 or 825, and I want to put on the UE panhard brackets, if I do that, I'll probably be in the 300# rear range. |

Yeah, it does, not sure how much was the tires, and how much was the spring rates. I still have a few minor kinks to work out, like the rear-bump stops, and such. And I probably should get it aligned, once I find the final height setting. |

Are the shocks holding it up in those pictures? I thought you said it was lower than mine.
I gotta take a picture of my bumpstop for you. hehe |

Those are bad angles to show it...
And I was going to chat with you about bump stops. I think I have a solution for the rears, but was going to see what you did in the front. |
