Option 1 - Put some 315's on the rear!

Apex Motorsports · 11-23-2012, 04:00 PM

I am voting Option 1. That one would kick the fun up a few notches and sex things up in the looks department too.

kejobe · 11-23-2012, 05:48 PM

I say option 1. More power is always nice, but its even nicer keeping the car on the road/track.

AquaSSRS · 11-23-2012, 05:49 PM

Option 1. If you really plan to do some road courses, then the sways will be very advantageous. I did my first road racing courses this year, and i have stock suspension. The car did great but did have a lot of bodyroll and the stock pirellis are so so. I plan on doing some pfadt products this winter. Probably the stage 1 performance kit.

Get over with that , get both .DONE

WheelmanSS · 11-25-2012, 11:36 AM

Well, I landed on option 1.

Thanks to Chase at Apex. Pfadt adjustable coilovers and ZL1 sway bars on the way!

Thank you for your order. Prepare to have your mind blown.

JOHNSONROD · 11-25-2012, 11:57 AM

you made the right call in my opinion. the 1le is an ss with good handling. seat time on track will help more than any mod though. an scca level driver with 250 hp will usually dominate an average ameture with 400 hp.
imo, get it to turn decent (like your already doing) and fix the brakes. your ok with good fluid and hp plus or better pads for an event or two BUT, if you track this car a lot, the brakes will be the weakest link. the ctsv package helped my lap times and comfort more than anything ive done.
one other thing, you said you like road racing and car shows. these two do not go hand in hand. track=chips and scuffs. go with the track and leave the car shows for the trailer queens imo.

Brutal SS · 11-25-2012, 12:18 PM

I was gonna vote option 1! Woohoo! Congrats!

StephenS_84 · 11-25-2012, 02:00 PM

I would've gotten Pedders coilovers. I love the F14's, so I'd say you made a good decision.

Denis · 11-25-2012, 02:38 PM

I want those coilovers so bad!!! Let us know how you like em

Apex Motorsports · 11-25-2012, 03:18 PM

There is a lot of propaganda and bad marketing out there but don't drink the Kool-Aid. If you want good there are plenty of options but if you want the best there is only one choice.

Friends don't tell Friends that they have enough power. You NEVER have enough HP. Option 2

WheelmanSS · 11-25-2012, 03:22 PM

Amen Chase.

I couldn't be any happier with all the Pfadt stuff I bought. The quality and performance is second to none. They will always be my go-to for suspension. When I get my C6 Z06, it will also be loaded with Pfadt.
