Default Finally Lowered The Maroon Camaro

I posted a few pics about a week ago, I finally got a chance to put some springs on the car this week, it looks a whole let better without the 4x4 stance.
Took it to a cruise in last night and broke the rear on the way home

Damn I love your car, that color looks so good with SS hood, spoiler and wheels. Especially now with the lowering. I think the amber parking lights would look alot better than the clears, jmo though.

Idk about the amber lights, those clears tie in well with the headlights and wheels right now. Very clean looking car though. Whistler mod on those headlights would be nice too.
What springs did you use OP?

X1 I thought it would look good with ambers, but now it does seem to look better with the clears. Clears do tie in good with the head lights as mentioned above.

Not sure what brand the springs are, they had no markings but are a bright electric blue color, about like a nitrous bottle. Broke the rear end wheel hopping in second gear. This car has seen more than a couple 10 bolt rears in its life, about time to suck it up and buy a 12 bolt

^ Same question I have and the car looks great and would look killer with the clear corners back in there. I absolutely love that color.
