Is there a local shop (Bremerton, Seattle) that could sit down with a customer and talk about rim size and lowering a car. Wondering if there are any automobile customization shops that could do this.

Where in Washington are you located?? I would personally go to Rushforth wheels and sit down with Jason Rushforth! He has done hundreds of cars with customized lowering and one off wheels all manufactured in Tacoma. He has also had several cars sporting his wheels in a many magazines!

Depending on what your after.... Eibach 1 inch drop springs $225.00 max. Install maybe $300.00 4 head 4 wheel alignment $70.00 Than do your rims later

TSW makes some nice rims for $1600.00

I decided on F14's Gun Metal, cost 1850. Not to bad... THank you allot for your comment!!! I may get pedders lowering or Pfadt ... Well at least I know the rims I am going with.

Rim size 20 X 9.5 with a 275/ 35or40... Maybe a 45 just depends....

Yes, they would be my first choice also. If money was no object.

I talked to Jason at a Griot's Garage show in Tacoma a few months back. My wife was with me and almost slugged me before walking away. Sweet wheels though!

Ok Update on this thread if anyone local reads. I decided to go with Pfadt lowering springs 1.25, Pfadt sway bars, and Pfadt adjustable end links. I also purchased F14 rims 20X9.5 and 20X10.5 with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires front 275/35 rear 295/35. I had asked where to go to have the suspension installed. I found that ILLTech can do the work. They have worked on Camaro's before so the trust is there. I actually got to ride in one they worked on it was a blast!!!
So perhaps in the future if someone wants to know a local place this can help.

Thanks, looks good though you sold the Camaro

. Of course I am only kidding, the new ride looks like a beast. I am @ week 3 of a 6 to 8 week wait process. I am not sure at the time you purchased yours if they had a super deep concave. I ordered Super Deep for front and rear. Ok now I am just... waiting... UGH... I could lower the car though what would it look like with LS rims... haha... me waiting =

ugh...

Lowering makes a huge difference in my opinion and since it appears you have to wait a little more, why not have it done so when the wheels come in, Bam!
