Matt, your car looks good are you running a 26in slick. How much did you cut off the stock springs ?

Man your car looks AWESOME, six speed or auto? Makes a diff on setup.

I run low 1.50's on motor, with a best of 1.50 in a 3750lb Camaro.

Hal "F" series on the front, Global west rear springs, Koni DA's in the rear.

FASTFATBOY, thanks your car looks bad also. I'm running a Th400 trans with a 4000 nitrous converter. I want the car lowered but don't want to sacrifice sixty.

That is some awesome power to the wheels through that trans!

You can lower it, just make sure the instant center stays in a good spot, by that I mean you have good upward angle on the lower control arms.

Yeh 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch....also if you lower the car you need adjustable lower control arms, as it will push the tire back in the wheelwell. You also need lower control arm relocation brackets.
