Pete, I'm looking for the Camaro set up. When it comes time for the G8 it's just going to get the FE3 upgrade, with some bars. That's more than enough for the wife.

You still like the Ridetechs for the Camaro I take it. I figured they were the way to go but I know how this industry is, things change quickly.

Thanks

Pete, what is your opinion on the new camber plates that are being released soon?

I'm thinking about the springs you are hopefully going to have here before long or if for some reason that doesn't happen the Hotchkiss springs along with a set of the plates (Probably the Moreno ones) and the Permagrin Kit I have waiting for install on my 1LE.

I can't justify the cost of coil overs like I really want right now or for the next year or so.

I want something that can really make my 1LE a massive blast to track. When I outgrow that setup I'll go to the next level. Thoughts?

Mine are better

I wonder what these are for...




From the Chevrolet parts bin we have a custom suspension going into this 2011 Camaro. We are using Z/28 front hubs, lower control and radius arms for the front suspension with an SS sway bar.

In the rear, we have new lower control arms to accept the drop links from the ZL1 / 1LE 28mm swaybar with Z/28 upper outer rear control arms bushings and Z/28 trailing arms.



These are the Z/28 front radius arms with Delrin inserts. Derek Zalewski and Ade Badiru these must look very familiar to both of you going all the way back to your Grand Am Camaro prototype and the urethane parts we made for you.

Are you going to have camber plates when you get going?

How far off is that anyways?

Is there a benefit to going with the Z/28 hubs over 2010 SS stock hubs?

I am doing some design work for a local car dealer, Jim Mill's Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Nissan and Ram. I love doing this type of creative work. It is conservative as these are brand new vehicles, but I think the results are strong. I hope you see the passion in them.

















The PhotoChop work is nothing more than an idea, a sketch for the painter to work from. Once we start in the paint shop we lay down lines with tape, adjust, tweak and spray. If the result isn't what we wanted, we do it again. It is great to be able to scratch this itch.

That blue car has surpassed the Aztek as ugliest production car ever.
