Default ALL WHEELS ON (ProStars)

Well, Finally got them on and snapped some quick pics. Sorry for any confusion, I ment ProStars, it was late when I posted.

Again, car is lowered w/ Eibach Sportline springs in rear, and Adjustable QA1 setup in front. Roughly 2inches of drop in the rear and 2 1/4 in front.

15x3.5 fronts w/ 165/80/15's and 15x10 (7.5 backspacing) w/ 275/60/15's. I already want to get rid of the rear tires and go 325's.













Quick pic of the exhaust setup: Simple, but works. Went from TSP True duals to this. Sucks, but doesn't drag, clunk, bang, and still sounds wicked at wide open throttle and sounds real nice at idle. Also, can't stand exhaust tips anymore on Camaro's.

Those look really good and fit nicely. What do they weigh? Are they quite a bit heavier than prostars?
I wouldnt go with the 325, I'm just guessing here, but they may not fit with sportlines in the rear too well.

Sorry for any confusion, they are ProStars, my bad. As for the 325 not fitting, I will make adjustments.

I ground more then I wanted in back, so I'm looking for early 4th gen rear brakes, but the front was nothing at all.

Well, I usually ran 315's on 17x11 Zr1 wheels, so I did some hammering on the inner fender (BFH mod), rolled the fender lip, and bought a adj. panhard bar to center the axle. Also I had Adj LCA, which are tubular, and help clear the tires. I did this all like 2 years ago so, everything fit with ease.
