It's a clean look and doesn't impact drivability (speed bumps etc) at all really.

The roads where I like are notorious for potholes and being uneven. So I think I'd just stick to 1" all around

Yeah the car is fine for the 6 year old, but I am talking about an infant. I don't want to try an lug a car seat in and out of the backseat. Especially when the kid gets to be 20 lbs. The 6 year old is fine and she even take off her shoes for me so she doesn't kick the seat.

Yeah 1" isn't too bad around here, I put Eibach springs on mine and it lowered it about an inch, but I didn't have the car for too much longer after I put them on. It helped a little in cornering, but you would need a set of swaybars too to really see a difference. You might want to look at BMR springs (pretty big fan), they have a 1.2" drop for v6's.

I'm still kind of dumbfounded how my car managed to smoke the tires off at 60MPH yesterday when I mashed the gas.

Crappy stock width tires? Probably.

How much do those go for?

The odd part is, the tires were definitely warm. I did a nice long burnout before this. 4l60e torque monster. lol

RKCamaro13 · 01-20-2015, 04:42 PM

About 250, probably a little less.

That's crazy. Was it at all alarming?

Let's just say I haven't had that feeling since I was in my friends twin turbo Z06

A friend of mine has a box Nova with a 412 SBC with twin's on it...it's an interesting feeling to break traction at 45 miles per hour in a car that is already as light as a mouse fart with mini-tubs and drag radials

Interesting as in..."Oh God oh God we're all going to die"

Yeah, it has a certain pucker factor to it
