The stance looks much better.

Just my opinion, please do something with those truck style tail pipes coming out of the back of the car.

The stance looks good with the BMR springs installed!

I am glad we were able to get you squared away with the stance. When you get everything else installed let us know what you think.

How would the LS1 F-body perform with the manual steering rack if Im using 275-285 / 18" tires up front? Is it more for drag racing than it is for say highway or road racing use?

I personally wouldn't use a manual rack running that big of tire on the front of the car because it will take quite a bit of effort to turn the steering wheel under lower speeds due to the large tire contact patch. Now I am not saying you can't because there are plenty of people that do I am just saying I wouldn't.

The manual rack kits are definitely more geared towards drag racing and straight line performance.
