Sorry about the crappy lighting and dirty car. I just pulled it out of winter hibernation so I haven't performed spring maintenance on it yet. I would have before pictures but the hard drive they were on took a **** on me after I started the install and I can't seem to find any pics floating on the net except for a crappy camera phone pic which doesn't show much as far as ride height goes.

It's a 1.25" drop

i'm not a fan of the tri-color tails on the 98-02 camaros. I also like the reflectors in the 93-97 models.

wheels will get here on monday. i already have my M/T 315/35/17's ready to go for the rears.

Looks good, becareful on speed bumps. Should handle well with upgraded panhard bar and bigger sway bars.

did you put on relocation brackets.

looks good man...post pics when the wheels get on. Also where did you take it to get installed or did you do it yourself? I have strano springs, waiting for the funds to get the revalves.

did you put on relocation brackets.

i figured that i would test it out before i committed to buying relocation brackets. i'm going to be upgrading to a 9 inch rear late spring/early summer and didn't want to have to buy brackets twice.

luckily, i haven't experienced any wheel hop yet, but then again, i only had the car out for a couple days after i put the shocks & springs on (the weather and salty roads chased it back into the garage).

Also where did you take it to get installed or did you do it yourself? I have strano springs, waiting for the funds to get the revalves.

it took me an entire saturday afternoon and part of sunday afternoon to get everything done in my driveway. the only thing i didn't do myself was put the upper shock mount onto the front springs. i didn't want to chew up my springs by putting compressors on them so i took the assembly to my friend's garage and hit it up with an air ratchet (took the better part of 12 seconds each so if you have a compressor, use it otherwise find a friend who has one). i used the writeup on ls1howto.com

good call on saving up money to get properly valved shocks.

nice car man... i'm getting this setup in a little bit. have the springs settled in a little bit and dropped a little more?
