Is my car slower!?!
I just got done installing BMR 1.25 lowering springs and trailing arms. Also put on factory reproduction z28 rim in the factory zl1 staggered setup. The car definitely is so much stiffer now and the nose doesn't fly up or dive down while shifting anymore. It doesn't "feel" as fast to me. Is this placebo effect from lowering the car or is it from the larger tire sizes? I'm still waiting on my supercharger to come in....ordered it 2 months ago. Dam you covid!

Bigger and heavier wheels will have that effect

Your Camaro is not any slower, just more "grounded" so to speak. With the wheels being wider and the car being lower it will feel much tighter and and a bit stiffer than it was stock. You won't have that feeling of "flying" anymore because you are closer to the ground and more connected. If that made any sense to you. lol.
