Very nice, subscribed. You didn't waste any time with those suspension mods.

How did you knock off NINE pounds just on the front right quarter??

Nice...4lbs weight savings as well.

MMMmmmm.....

I think I believe the nuts and bolts thing over the difference in ride height. That's just...:der:

After adding Pedders Dual Bearing Camber Plates, Supercar Coilovers, 32mm 1LE Rear Balance Bar, Sub-Frame and Radius Bushes we still shaved 5 pounds off the curb weight.

If we had more time, we could have adjusted the ride heights a few mm and had the car corner weights PERFECT. When Glen is ready, we'll take a day and do exactly that.

CamaroSkooter 04-23-2013 04:43 PM

Just curious, should you set up the weight distribution evenly with no one in the car, or would it help to set up the weight distribution with the primary driver sitting in the driver's seat?

:popcorn:

If we are corner weighting the driver is in the car. The same is true for a track ready alignment.

Secondary driver is always better. Might be confusing, but it works.

Thermal Management. Please wrap them before you install them. Pull the sound cover off the plenum as well.

Looks so good, dude! I've loved this setup since I used to see 572hp's vert build with this similar look.

Nicely done!

Aubrey64 05-30-2013 09:53 PM

Looks so bad ass!

FINALLYSATISFIED 05-30-2013 10:41 PM

NICE pics! Something about the rear looks blank to me. I'm typically a fan of de-badging BUT I found myself loving the gold bowties in the front/rear. Either way, it looks good.

TAG UR IT 05-31-2013 12:18 AM

Looks good! Can't wait to see it in person.

BigBlock69RS 05-31-2013 12:53 AM

Wow nice build. Did you drive the car much before all the suspension mods? Wondering how big a difference all the suspension mods made.

TAG UR IT 06-01-2013 12:47 AM

Saw it in person tonight. DAYUM! And that red pin stripe....it makes the car. Looks SICK
