More pics of my LS1 Coupe.
Just thought I would share. It is still pretty dirty and needs to be lowered more. Dang thing is too light and hardly compresses the suspension.

i have 1/8 inch between the pass head and the firewall

i have a qa1 k-member for a 96-04,and it set it all the way back,it couldn't go back any more

that's gotta be a LOT better for weight transfer. of course, if i get traction it'll help keep the front end down i guess. but it makes traction on the street worse being that much further forward. oh well, i'm gonna be trying to fit the MT 325/50 DR's in a couple months and see if they help. of course, i'm also going from 3.27's to 4.56's, so that wont help at all on the street. lol. but it'll be fun trying!
