How do you like the tires? My buddy just bought a set to play around with... got them for practically nothing - just wondering how they do in comparison to other brands?

i think the wheels look good, and i applaud you for not going over 18" wheels.....any bigger, and they just wouldn't look right at all, IMO. they would look a lot better without the rivets/bolts, though, and DEFINITELY get rid of that lift kit that's on there now...holy christ, i can't remember ever seeing a "stock-height" camaro that looked any higher than that does!

and yeah, do yourself a favor if you are concerned with the ride quality in any way, shape, or form, and don't get either the pro-kit or sportline springs. stick with something that won't have you riding on the bumpstops.

Stranos are my first pick, but aside from that, i've seen the Hotchkis & G2 springs, and they don't look to be too low, and shouldn't have you riding on the bumpstops like the Eibachs will.

he tires are amazing, they SHOULD cost more than they do. On stock tires a 1st gear roll on would spin the tires pretty good, and even through 2nd if I rode it out through a power shift. on THESE tires, I get a light squeal IF they spin at all, and a bark into 2nd on a power shift. These tires dead hook, I need to relearn how to launch the car now

i had the riken raptors and just put on my falken azenis rt 615s. i had plenty of tread left after 25k+ miles, but wanted a softer tire. cornering with the raptors is GREAT, but in comparison, with the azenis is OMFG - feels like i'm gonna start breaking suspension parts. i gotta heat em up a little to get them in their sweet spot, but so far i'd just say the azenis are better from a dig... just not as much of a dramatic difference as with the cornering aspect (so far).
