I think we need to go back to basics here with the OP. Baker, what mods have you done to the suspension of the car? Stock SS 1LEs are not "extremely tail happy." They have a proclivity to kick the...

Of course it is, and the air that that is in contact with the brake fluid as you bleed/flush or just add new fluid is the same whether you use a Motive style tool or any other method.

I understand that, but that's what I though meant when you wrote: "The tanks like the Motiv set up are actually introducing air into your precious fluid." My reply was that they aren't introducing...

There is literally air above your brake fluid in the reservoir at all times, as there is when you open the bottle and pour the new fluid in to whatever you pour it into. Therefore, there's no...

I can believe that. The stock SC3s aren't great at putting down power. The RE71RSs are.

Unless you overfill the reservoir, your brake fluid is always exposed to air in the same location as when you use a Motive pressure bleeder. The only concern about air in a brake system is if it...

Agreed. I just got six runs in today at our local novice school (fun runs, but on RE71RSs). The rear traction is super consistent now without the sudden oversteer on corner exit that we've come to...

I'm doing an annual change for my diff and tranny, but I am putting about 8 on the car each year, with lots of autocross runs and 2-3 track days per year. It definitely shifts better with fresh...

Everything they said is correct, and it's pretty damn annoying that one of eight speaker wire outputs is on the other connector to the radio module. However, that is one of the rear wires. I had...

You don't want to tap into the rear speaker signals for your sub: they aren't full frequency range. You want to tap into the front speaker signal.

From what I see, the problem with using BMR's offset end links is that they use a polyurethane axial bushing for the frame mount (because you can't buy offset rod spherical rod ends). That's really...

But aside from that, you also get incredibly shitty quality. What a deal! I seriously don't understand why these tires still sell. If they were half the price, maybe. But they aren't much cheaper...

I have experience with both brands on other cars, but not our Camaros. In general, I think you'll find that Konis on their softest setting will be more comfortable than Bilsteins. At least on C4s,...

If you end up with that big a difference in downforce between front and rear, you're going to have a lot of understeer at high speed. You'll probably want the rear of the car to squat a bit at high...

Certainly for a track day, removing the rear seat could be viable. Some of us are competing in classes like SCCA Solo F Street that won't allow such things, so that's a no-go for us.

They aren't that close. The exhaust flow isn't restricted at all. I just added the shields in case the heat would stream back into the outside tires during a highway drive.
