So got to lower mine... looks great!!

Looks great. just that 1" drop really gives it a better stance. Did you install the springs yourself? How hard was it? I'm not a fan of black wheels. The silver look good on there.

How are the driveways treating you with it lowered that much? Looks tight!

Stance looks great!
I got my Pfadt springs awaiting install, can't wait for the improved stance.

Question for you...
Where Did you score the ZL1 wheels? I love the look of those wheels, always have! Are they replicas and if not don't you feel the car is kind of saying what it's not with ZL1 etched into the wheels?

Also the box near your springs in your picture above says BMR , so I assumed they were that not eibach......Hmmmm!!!!

Not sure on the alignment issues, I drove straight to the shop and had a re-alignment performed right after the install, but didn't ask how much it was off...and the springs are Eibach brand...thanks!

Where are you black wheels? Are the for sale?

I really like the car's all black theme. It does give it an black panther look.

Wow! Looks amazing!

And didn't you have those same wheels painted black before?

+1 I thought the same exact thing.

P.S. Your car is sick! Good job!

I would be interested in your wheels and hood...

Caster Camber plates aren't needed on the Camaros. There's plenty of adjustment in stock form.

To each their own...My friends have commented that my car looks "stealth."

I believe location also has to factor in to aesthetics. I have yet to see any Camaros in my area with black wheels or other 1LEs yet. Which makes it interesting when people look and try to figure out exactly what my car is.

Hell of a project with your BlackWidow. I enjoy reading your threads. Do you ever get the chance to use all that horsepower under your hood? 800+ is just incredible. I'm waiting for this news headline: "Louisiana man lands Camaro in Gulf of Mexico"

Joe@TuneTime · 03-14-2014, 08:08 AM

That is one badas looking Camaro. I like it with those wheels on it too.

Looks great, I luv those rims on darker cars.
