I just installed this stuff. I am on the quest for more traction. The v-6 springs are a little taller than the Z28 set, but now the rear of the car seems to sit a little lower. I like the look though.

I broke a bolt on the PHR taking it off, and the stock hardware doesnt work anyway, so I had to cobble up some bolts.

For the money the Lakewood stuff seems to be really sturdy. I cant believe how solid the bar is. Earlier today I was playing around and the clutch started to smell, as it has been slipping for a little while now. So these things should make it worse:D

I will give a full report on the springs tomorrow. I know Rob and a few others were looking at the V-6 springs.

Okay Jeff now go launch that thing like a Cobra. 6700rpm then bam slip the clutch, close eyes, and pray :-ok:

BTW hope I'm not holding you up with the intake. It will be enroute here very directly, just had a couple of snags. If you need more clarification just drop me aline.

As for the springs, $25 takes them.
2x OEM V6 front, 2x OEM V6 rear springs (sold as a set).

I'll be in Wiesbaden this end of the month or early May.

Well, I like em! The rear end dips more and does help the traction. Feels kinda cool lifting the front end up! Normal driving isnt affected either. I can still take corners faster than I'd ever want to.

For those wanting more drag traction for the money these are great. I'm sure they would be even better with the drag radials on.

Seems that some 3-way adj. Lakewood drag shocks are in order. :)




Rob, no problem on the intake, as long as I get it before I leave Germany I will be happy!
