I have been meaning to do this for awhile. After lowering it on the BMR springs and not taking the rear spring isolators out the back sat a little high. Mod took about 45 min to do. Happy with the outcome.

Now just trying to determine whether or not to take the "Sport Appearance Package" off. I know I definitely am when I get TTM's so it looks more like a muscle car. What do you guys think?

Thanks

I liked the GFX on my old Camaro. If you do decide to keep them I would do a CME in the rear though, looks much cleaner. Glad to hear your changing up the wheels.

I definitely agree. Yeah, I bought the car in 2008 with the Z06 rims on all ready from a friend who took very good care of the car. Back then I liked them, At this point in my life I have an image of what I want the car to look like and regardless either way the kit is coming off. lol

See in the mean time I'm saving for a rear end and cam which I am half way there. With a few rear suspension components its going to cost me a little over 5k.

With that said, I won't be getting these TTM's until next fall or winter (student loans blow) So I'm trying to picture the car looking for better or worse with the GFX removed or not, on these black Z06's

Thats one nice stance.

Stance is good, but not a fan of the gfx or black center wheels. The black centers just make the wheels look too small.

Thanks guys

Yeah same here, I'm just afraid that since I wont be getting new rims for a year or so if I take the gfx off it will look worse with these rims if you can picture it.

I cut one coil off and heater hosed mine and they sit perfect. Ride quality wasnt hurt at all.

That looks really good. I should probably look into something like this...

Thanks, Diggin your rims man. What size did you go with in the rear? Do you have any other pics of her?

In the pics, the drivers side rear sits lower than the front, and the passenger side rear sits higher than the front. Might want to try throwing a 93-96 style spring isolator on top of the drivers side rear spring.

The rear does seem to sit a tiny bit lower than in the front. I'm not sure really about one side being off from the other, I will measure it when I get home. I will say my driveway is not even which may be the cause of it.

ZexGX

Could be. Usually when I see the hose mod, I see the rear sitting slightly lower than the front (I've done the hose mod on a couple cars). The 93-96 isolators are thicker than the hose mod, but thinner than the stock 97-02 isolators. Plus you can often get them for cheap or free from local members on Tech or in junkyards.

Is there any need to worry that the rear sits lower than the front?

I know its not drastically low to where it bothers me but just wondering.

ZexGX

iTrader: (28)

Nope, not really. The pinion angle change is the only thing I can think of.

Yeah I measured it last night. It does sit dead even, the pics can be misleading for sure.

looks good. Its a cheap mod but for max efficiency, buy lowering springs
