Hows the ride/handling?

unioncarpenter84

iTrader: (22)

Only put 15 miles on it so far.
Took it for a ride to make sure there were no strange noises or anything.
Everything seems to be good.

Alot better than stock no doubt about it.

Going to call BMR soon about sway bars for front and rear

How hard was the install?

unioncarpenter84

iTrader: (22)

lot easier than i thought. only took 2 and half hours.
as long as u dont have any rust its easy.
i had more time in taking the sway bar links off and putting new links in and also taking off the master cylinder and fighting with the t-50 torq bolts....then anything else with the install..

Here's what mine turned out once it settled. It will drop a bit more for you. I am on the koni lower perch in the front so my front will be lower. Looks great OP gotta love not being a 4x4 anymore Also once you get the sway bars and whatnot from BMR that you are talking about you will love how the car handles. My car feels like it is on rails and I love it.

Did u do the heater hose mod on the rear?

Ya looks good ur front is 3/4 lower because konis right?



How hard is it to make 315s work without rolling fender

Yep heater hose in the rear and the koni lower perch in the front. With the konis you can actually move the spring perch down and it gives about 3/4" so yea.

It's not terribly difficult. With the spacers you wouldn't need much hammering but I would recommend rolling the fender. I need to do that soon as my fenders are slicing my tires.

Cars look great guys, loving the look with the c5 deep dishes on the vert. Could I get both of you to get some center of wheel well to ground measurements from your cars? I get that question alot and would like to have actual numbers on hand to give people. Mostly about the differences on a ws6 vs a regular t/a or formula. Either post up here or PM me
