Default Before and After Pics!
Just thought i'd post come pics of my Camaro up. I have had it for a while now and finally saved up enough for suspension and CCW's.Here are some pics of my 98 Z28, old pics were taken by previous owner as well as some I took of how it sits now...






And this is how my car sits right now, just got the CCW Classics, they are corvette offset so the lips aren't that big. I also plan on lowering it another .5" or so... let me know what you think!

It's crazy what a little lowering and new wheels will do for these cars.

Looks great. Very cleanly done. A little lower would really bring it to that next level. Nice job. What's the wheel/tire specs?
