Thumbs up Thanks Sam! Koni's,DMS springs, & Fake CCW's. (pics inside)

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.

The front gap with stock suspension.

Now with all the goodies installed.



Full side view.

3 inch rear lip.

Now for some sunny pictures.

I had to do the cell phone test.


They tuck in perfect.


Thanks for looking everyone. Let me know what you think. Good or bad. Sam AKA MasterOfPuppets

Looks good, but there is nothing "Fake" about TSW wheels. They are decent quality cast wheels. Car looks great, only thing I'd change is the red calipers on green paint. Maybe charcoal or polished calipers instead.
