New pics of my CGM SS - lowered and with 22s
Some of you may have seen the how-to article I wrote recently on installing Pfadt lowering springs. The article showed the car with the factory wheels. Here is how it looks with the 22s on it.
Details: iForged "Sprint" wheels, 3-piece construction Matte black centers, chrome lips 22x9 fronts with 265/30-22 Pirelli PZero Nero tires 22x11 rears with 315/25-22 Pirelli PZero Nero tires Pfadt lowering springs (1.00-1.25" drop)     Hope you like it.  Tony

 Steering feels about the same, but less body roll with the springs installed.

Really, really nice Tony - and thanks for the article as I now have enough confidence to do the springs myself. Now that you have driven it - do the springs improve the handling enough that you don't see the need for the Pfadt swaybars? I have debated doing the whole sport package but I am on the fence.
Thanks Ron

Ron,
I haven't taken any corners fast enough to know if I need swaybars yet. But, just from back to back comparing the feel with my CTS-V I'd say the Camaro still needs sways too. The OEM ones are tiny, look like little toys. Cadillac still handles better, and we can't have that!

Ravirn, custom wheels take several weeks to build. You should order the wheels and have them arrive about the same time your car does. I can help with that
