140mph bumper drag = Carnage (pics). 
Jambed the brakes alittle to hard on decel and the nose just about got sucked under the car. Busted up the fiberglass upper bumper support pretty good. We strapped the nose back on the car and made a few more badass runs.

The front suspension consist of Hypercoil progressive rate springs and QA1s with a fixed compression. Overall it's alittle on the stiff side. Going back to the stock ground effects will solve the problem.

Didn't anyone ever tell you that you are supposed to drag the back bumper and not the front? You just HAD to be different didn't ya? 
j/k... glad it wasn't any worse than that. Are you going to pull the kit off now? Edit -- nevermind, you answered my question before I even asked.

Damn man, that's some good carnage. Must have been over at Epping again?
That shouldn't be too bad to fix. The bumper comes off pretty easy. Grab that new support and your stock GFX and you'll be good to go.
Let me know if you head over to Epping any time soon. I haven't been all year.

I dig your car. I always enjoy seeing your sig pic. Best-looking Camaro I've seen with the ground effects.
