Default How do I get this kind of look? I love the way this car sits.

Hello guys, this is my first post on this site.

Anyways, I was searching around on cardomain.com and found this car:

I just love the way the rims look with the ls1 body style. I know they are Zo6 rims but why is it other ls1 camaros look differently with those rims like this car:

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2099047

Don't get me wrong, both cars look awesome but why is it that the first car just has that extra something that makes it look so much nicer? I am not talking about the body or the extra shiny paint on the first car, but how the rims and tires fit the wheel bay so perfectly.

The second owners suspension is as follows:

• UMI Performance Tubular Lower Control Arms, w/ Relocation Brackets
• UMI Performance Tubular Panhard Rod
• BMR Performance Tubular Subframe Connectors
• Spohn Performance 1" Rear Stabilizer Bar
• SVO 30#/hr. Injectors
• GM 1LE 32mm Front Stabilizer Bar
• Polyurethane Bushings and End Links
• Intrax Lowering Springs (2" rear, 1 3/4" front)

He is on intrax springs which drop your car quite a bit

Ok, how did you figure all that out by just looking at the car? He doesn't list any specs about his camaro, and if he did i completely missed them.

Also, what do you mean second owner?

He is a mod on this sight (XtinctZ28) so his specs are more than likely listed on here. The link to the second car you posted is what he means by second owner. And the wheels might have a different offset which makes them sit in the wheel wells different.

Yep, the offset of the wheels may be a little different, or there could be a difference in ride height, or maybe even a combination of the 2.
Also, that cowl induction hood really gives his car a different overall look than the stock SS hood on that 2nd car. I've always really liked his car

The difference is the springs.....
