Yep, stage 1 done. Pictures are in Picture Posting page.
The full monty - Eibach Pro Kit, Bilstein HD shocks revalved Strano style, BMR SFC's, STB, Box LCA and brackets, sway bars with end links and APHR.
I say ye haa. What a difference. The guy who did it for me is fantastic. He is a US car specialist and says he has turned the "family Camaro" into a "Monster". He thinks it drives more like a Corvette now. He actually admitting to loving it - and this is from a man who is Ford through and through.
The drop is way more than the Eibach quoted figures, but not too much and I am not complaining. It now sits level and solid. Gone has that 4 x 4 jacked up look. The drop is just right - Eibach seems to be a good product.
Also gone is that terrible bounce when you shut the boot (trunk) lid or close a door. Now when you shut the doors, they just go THUNK - solid.
Obviuosly more noise and rougher over bumps, but not too bad. I haven't given the car a good thrash for complete test results, but there is much less roll and far better launch. No more hesitation while all the old bits were bending and twisting.
I am very happy with the look and first impressions of driving are excellent. I just can't get the keys off my wife.
I know you're happy man! It makes such a difference when you have a solid suspension.. One of these days, I'm gonna get some shocks, but after having just spent $2000 for repairs, that can wait. I hope you enjoy your new setup!
