It was time to tighten up the chassis and dial in the suspension a bit. Many thanks to American High Performance for the install! I'm having some other things done at AHP and will review once I get the car back. I'm looking forward to seeing how this beast handles and feels now.
Newest suspension mods - BMR subframe brace BMR toe rods BMR trailing arms and bushings BMR control arms BMR tunnel brace BMR Safety loop I also swapped out from the GM strut brace to Hotchkis 4 point brace. I don't have pics of that just yet. |

Cosmetic mods to come soon...
-ZL1 custom front end conversion with brake ducts, liners, and underbelly pan. -Oracle SMD side markers -Forgeline DE3C 20x10 20x11 wheels (Satin Black with Black Gloss Lip and Orange Pinstripe) wrapped in Micheline Super Sports. Custom Painted ZL center caps to match wheel theme. -Powder coated rear Brembo Calipers to match the front. -I worked with Gary at emblem pros to make some updates to the badging to match the overall color scheme. We'll see in a couple weeks how everything turned out. I'm looking forward to getting everything together. |

Thanks Pierre - I will absolutely jot down some good pros and cons once I get the car back. I will do a street review and once spring comes a round we'll see how this beast does on the road course. |
