Next up, Forgeline GA3's and NT-05's.
Just checking in to see how she feels now that you have had time to log more miles.

She feels great! Firm, but not harsh, very controlled body motions. Definitely instills more confidence in her capabilities. I still have the stock swaybars, do you feel there is a need to upgrade those? Also, which of the remaining bushings should be next? I would like a little crisper steering response. I don't expect the Camaro to feel like my Z06, but I'd like to make it a little closer. Overall, VERY happy, glad this was my first mod. I usually do the headers/cam and tune before anything.

Still sport'n the perma-grin!

It gets that much better with the sway bars... I went with a 33 in the rear and 27 up front for more over steer... and even then the car is predictable and not loose on the tail end...

You will NOT be disappointed with the sways.

Glad you like it.
