What To Do Now?
What's up guys? I was thinking about selling my car, but now I've decided to keep it. So my question is, what should be my next step? All of my mods are in my sig, I made about 387 horse/torque and would like to step it up.
Also with appearance wise, I'm getting tint, maybe new rims? Options?
Any pics, suggestions, parts would be greatly appreciated. I would like to make the car more comfortable to drive, right now all stock suspension and would like to break the 400 horse mark.

what i would do next is some supsension mods to get it to put more to the ground and not in smoke and burnt rubber .. torqe bar / lowers with relocators mabey a pan hard bar stuff like that i know i saw a huge improvement when i did mine .. as far as engine i would build the bottom end up mabey stroke it or if u dont wanna tear down mabey a power adder ( procharger ) or hit it with a 125 shot and call it a day .. either way i would do my suspension up before anything

Does it have issues hooking up now? Suspension packages are a good deal but its not hard to hook 400hp,are ya getting wheel hop etc? No point in buying every suspension part known to man when ya prob dont need them,to some people comfort is having a car that handles like a beast on rails lol,comfort to me is riden in a caddy,as far as appearance post a pic of your car and we can give ya some ideas,one suspension piece i would get is sfc,

Are you still on the stock 10 bolt? Even if you hook you risk blowing it up if you are with more power..consider a 9 or 12 bolt rear.
You have a cam, maybe do a heads swap then get retuned and call it a day?
Or for a quick mod you could just add a 100 or so shot.
With suspension the sky is the limit. If you go that route decide what your goal is and pick parts accordingly.
I'm a sucker for the SS hoods though, I'd definitely get one if I had a 4th gen camaro.

First put a good set of shocks in it, Bilsteins or Koni would be good. You'll also want to go ahead and upgrade to a stronger clutch an Tick master cylinder if your current clutch has a lot of miles on it, if not wait until the clutch starts to slip. I'd then get a stronger rear (9" or D60), drive shaft, adj. TA, TA relocation trans cross member, adj. PHB, if your LCA bushing are in good condition then you can stick with those. What's your suspension goal, drag or corner carver?

Get a set of 2pt weld-in sub-frame connectors, they'll stiffen up the chassis and give you more jacking locations. I'd also consider the Strano hollow sway-bar set, or at a minimum new bushing and end links for you factory bars. You'll also possibly need new front upper shock/spring mounts since they're probably rusted out.

I'll have to check in to that. I already ordered a set of sfc's. on an unrelated note, can anybody tell me if there is a noticeable difference on the 6le seats from the real leather or the synthetic?
