when you removed the felt was the engine noise louder? Just curious as that felt is probably there for sound or heat control

RubyCamaro · 02-27-2014, 10:03 PM

I haven't driven it yet since removing it. I'll let ya know if I notice any difference.

RubyCamaro · 02-28-2014, 07:59 PM

BMR Front sway bars & tie rods ordered. I wil get these installed at the same time as my headers & tune! This concludes the performance upgrades portion of this build. Now on to appearance mods! Thanks Chase!

Who is doing the install?

And when?

RubyCamaro · 03-02-2014, 11:05 AM

DBR Performance down your way. Awaiting email from them with estimate to set date. But uh......... Soon?

Thanks for your order. Did you ever do lowering springs?

RubyCamaro · 03-27-2014, 02:19 PM

No, that worries me. Clearance on these things is already so limited. I don't want to drag the bottom on something. Do you think that makes a difference other than appearance?

C'mon, it is a weekend toy! These 5th Gens have so much more clearance than the 4th Gens. Lowering springs definitely have a performance benefit. They lower the cars center of gravity and increased spring rate creates roll resistance.

Yeah but I still have to drive it in the country, & in the city, & occasionally not be able to miss a big pothole or a steep exit out of a parking lot. I have watched some of those guys scrape their Camaro noses or side ground effects as we cruise around.

But Okay................................I guess I need to save up another what, $250ish...........................THEN the paint job.

SM0KE · 03-27-2014, 10:36 PM

Just do it. Totally makes the look 100% better.
I scrape every time I pull in the driveway. It doesn't bleed.

RubyCamaro · 03-28-2014, 10:42 PM

I think I would bleed!!!

First I have to save up for this installation. With all the unexpected expenses we have had lately it does not look like I will have my headers installed in time for the Spring Fling! Plus they have still not released the HP tune. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
