Stock Springs and Shocks! I think it looks that way cause the tires are 325/50/15. Thanks for the compliments!

Did you have to beat the hell out of your **** to fit those tires, cut off the bumb stops or any of that????? I was thinking about these wheels all though some folks say that 's a heavy *** tire to turn and most do fine with 275's...I'm leaning towards the new MT 295/55/15's on my race stars that are showing up tomorrow.... Nice look for sure. Cant wait to see what mine looks like! I really don't see alot of medium quasar blue camaro's like mine setup like this so I'm pretty excited to see the new stance! A whole new personality in my opinion!

I did have to do alil beating but not much i also rolled the fender lip just to be safe! They are heavy thats for sure they weight 54 pounds a piece with the rim. I was gunna run a 275/60/15 but i was affraid with as much torque as i have on the spray and no shocks or springs i was affraid id have traction issues! so i figured i would put the biggest tire i could, ill tell u what iam glad i did. i used to run 28/10.5/15 slicks and they would spin on the street even without nitrous. I put thsese on and they hook awesome i have no regrets and to be honest they give the car a super mean look!

Wish my plate kit would finally get here. Been 2 months since I ordered it. As far as working on the car goes, its to cold and the living room is filled with parts just waiting for some warm weather.

No ****, I emailed grant and nitrous outlet to see if he could tell me when i should be expecting it but I got no reply. I know we both ordered the plate kit within a few days of each other, hopefully we see them soon.
