Thanks for the comments. Yes lowering springs are coming in the future, needs a clutch first.

Well...I don't own a 4th gen F-body but I know what looks good on them. Personally, I do not like the wheels. They are not bad looking wheels...just not my taste, that's all. I think a nice set of ZR1's, Z06's, or Fikse's would compliment you car very nicely. I don't like the mudflaps and your car could use a drop. Everything else is cool. Keep it clean!

What he said.
The wheels probably looks stellar in life, but their definitly " different ".
Unless your driving down backroads all the time, removing the mudflaps would also sharpen it up some too.

Nice Z !

Ah yes, i knew the mudflap comments were coming. I have mixed feelings about them. The only bad part about them is looks. The good parts, or so i thought, it would keep water/dirt spray from the tires off the body. But as i found out today, just went thru a little puddle and half of it got all over the back bumper and the door. The other good part is it would keep rock chips off, and i do drive alot of backroads around here and they are shitty. So i am not sure what i will do with them. I might take them off and see what i think.The rims do look alot better in person. When i first saw pics of this car on the net when it was listed for sale, i was already planning to take them off and sell them for some better ones. But when i saw them in real life, they looked awesome and definatly go well with the car. And after thinking about it, i am glad they came with them because it definatly sets it off even more, and i would have never been able to afford a set of rims and tires if i would have bought a camaro with stock rims.

BlackandredSS, or anyone else with DMS springs for that matter: How is the ride with the DMS springs compared to stock? Im thinking about either DMS or Eibach for when i do have the spare cash to get some.

You know, if those wheels had center sections that curved slightly inward instead of outward and had a 1 to 2" lip on them... I think they'd look a little better.

DMS are the best on the market IMO. Im running them with stock shocks and ride comfort hasnt changed and it gives the car the perfect stance IMO. I have LTs and have no problem with scraping, u just have to learn how to judge things and learn to go over things at an angle. Ull have even better clearance with those 18s. Lose the mudflaps, and get DMS's

Does your camaro sit level, or is the rear still a little higher than the front?
