I just wanted to thank Sam Strano for the great shocks. The Koni's SA just put my old (120,000 mile) Decarbon's to shame. The shocks make my car drive like new. I don't road race or anything crazy, but Sam told me if I wanted the best, go with Koni. The DMS springs gave my car a nice drop with the heater hose mod on the rear springs. Now for my my rims & tires. I always wanted to buy a set of CCW 500's, but didn't have that kind of cash. I love their light weight, clean design, and strength. What I didn't like was the price & all the trouble to keep them looking good. I've even read of some of the LS1tech members thinking of getting their set chromed. I went with TSW Volcano's 19X8 in the front and 19X9.5 in the rear. I know what your thinking, should of gone wider, but for $700 for the set out the door, I can't complain.
The tires are Falken FK-452's with 245/35/19 in front & 275/30/19 in the rear. Even though the sidewall is thin, these tires hook! They better for what I paided for them too.
I got the whole setup installed at Flip's tire's & concept center in Van Nuys. Ask for Menfil or Mario and the will hook it up. I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.
Before just with 18X9.5 ZO6 rims fully stock.
