If he painted or had the calipers powder coated to match the paint, it would really set the car off. I like that he kept the factory rims. I kept mine too, just replaced them with a chrome set.

That car has changed a lot since that picture was taken. Here is how it looks now.

I guess I'm more of a subtle change kind of guy. I thought it looked great before.

Nothing wrong with that. The springs alone make the car look a lot better.

The answer to that can vary depending on how far you want to go and how much money you want to spend. If you are looking for a solid street handling package that addresses all of the big bang for your buck upgrades at a reasonable price it would be something like this:

1) Apex Motorsports 1.25" Camaro Lowering Springs - APX1410126

2) BMR Suspension Front & rear Sway Bar Kit w/ Bushings - SB039

3) BMR Suspension Front Radius Rod Bushing Kit BK019

4) BMR Suspension Rear Cradle Bushing Kit, Full Bushing, Pro Version BK024

With these items you will have the lower ride height you are after, flatter cornering, and greater stability especially when cornering, accelerating and braking aggressively. The car will feel more like a sports car than a muscle car. And the best part is that you will still have good ride quality.

Thank you, Chase!
Those are exactly the things I am looking for.
The only mod ahead of the four you mentioned, is the catch-can, and then, i'm off and running with all of your suggestions!

That is a good plan. The sooner you can get a catch can installed the better.
