Default I love suspension stuff.

So.. I decided to drive around today in the snow, in the Camaro. We had about 4-8" and the roads were so-so. I had subframe connectors put on soon after I bought the car, and I recently just installed Spohn LCAs with Poly bushings, and relocation brackets, set to the lowest setting.

I drove the car in the rain with the relocation brackets and LCAs, and it was very stable and planted, with increased amounts of traction.

But how would it do in the snow?

Well... great. I was flooring in 3" of snow and it was just spinning forward, not fishtailing all over the road. The suspension now is very stable and easy to predict compared the stock style suspension that would dart out on you on a whim. I never really thought this suspension stuff actually did anything THAT dramatic. Just had to share my amazement.

I love suspension components too! You don't need to run 10s in the quarter mile to have fun!
