Well, I'm Officially Ready To Take Turns .... Fast!!!

[Mean Green z28]

It was a minor pain in the ass 'cos the kit didn't exactly go together (had to take the front shock tops apart and had to make my own tool to do that) but all the bitching and swearing was worth it 'cos now I can set the ride height to ANYTHING I want and the shocks are fully tunable on their damping. This thing handles like it's on rails!!!!

Sorry no pics of before after right now but I'll post some later when I get the car cleaned up and the ride height adjusted after the springs settle, but here's pics from the install :grin: ... click for larger and more pics. in the album.

Paint the rear axle/diff.? Possible, but a pain in the ass right now and it's not gonna do anything for performance and it's under the car. Later.

Arc Angel ... They're Koni shocks all the way around. They're the best I could find within my budget and the only ones that can handle the spring rates I wanted (all other brands like Bilsteins/etc. fail after a few months with the high rates). The coil over spring setup is from Ground Control (www.groundcontrol.com). The springs rates are 550 lb/in in front and 175 lb/in in the rear.

ruwan67 ... the black bar would be the sway bars. They were upgraded to larger diameter hollow for better cornering/less weight.

Hi Mean Green nice Konis, I guessed from the color. Just realized that my car's got them too . Could I know how much the kit cost? How about the bushes have you upgraded them to poly urethene ones too?
