Got new shoes today.. 17s in front, 18s in rear. Maybe front could be lowered.

It's been a long time since I've seen any of those old 16" ZR1 style wheels.

An excellent color choice, my personal favorite.

Thx fellas, amazing how wheels sweeten the look. Any suggestions on lowering springs, where to find, install links, etc.? Got 195k miles so got concerns about modding for HP before possible engine rebuild. Going with styling options first, LED headlights & tails coming soon. Also, after new wheel install getting ABS Inop/Brake light. Speed sensor issue?

I run H&Rs and like em. The majority of people on here would probably recommend Stranos. Google stranosports and you'll find em. Hes a solid guy to deal with. I would highly recommend putting new shocks on as well when you lower. Konis are amazing and strano has em as well. Heres a decent writeup i found in google but no pics http://www.ls1lt1.com/forum/chassis-...g-springs.html

I love the wheels on that color. Needs a small drop but other than that awesome. Is that a hardtop car? Only reason I don't have a Camaro is how rare the hardtops are when I was looking.

Thx, yes it is a hardtop. I'm enjoying it, wanted a stock so I could see the fruits of my labor unfold as I mod it. Got some euro tails added today! Updating picture album as I make changes. Headlights coming in a few days! Pondering on CAI and LS6 intake.
