Hey Jenn, are you still thinking sways too? They would be more of a concern with winter driving than lowering. Someone told me they will make the car handle more poorly in the wet, what would snow be like?!? As far as lowering, the SS guys seem to make out fine in the snow, so I say drop it! Glad to hear Barossa is running incident free through all the snow we've had this year.

My first mod to my Camaro will be powder coating the rims black. Also tinting the turn signals and reverse lights.

I plan on getting red/white halos and ground effects, but that might wait till spring. It's only got 350 miles on it and I'm going crazy! This car begs to be modded. Amazing stuff out for this car.

Nice gabbing at ya earlier. Thanks for the call! Her growl seems to be getting more aggressive the more she gets driven too. I'm dieing to put in the springs. Ugh!!! I have to be responsible and wait though to pay down the Tires and wheels and sensors Yuk. LOL

mods for this winter are more of 'future plans' or 'mods for the spring'

List includes:

heritage grill (or bowtie delete with LS7 style front blackout while keeping stock grill)
Roto-Fab or CAI intake
MGW shifter
gill decals
get my wheels chrome plated (might have to wait on this one)
interior lighting colour change
oil catch can

Good talking to you too! I can't wait to get mine back out. I bet an intake will make it sound even better!

And thanks for the help earlier now I want the heritage grill, haha

I have lowering springs and sway bars. I have spent a day running around mosport in the rain, and the car handled great. The sway bars aren't that noticable for normal every day driving. High speed cornering, they make a huge difference!

Those calipers look good, nice job.

I installed sway bars the day before I took my Camaro off the road do to the salt coming.

I have received my RX Oil Catch Can from Tracy.
I have ordered my Stillen front splitter.

Both of those items will be installed mid-March.

Other mods are still being thought of and investigated.

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone, be SAFE

Working on a suspension upgrade.

36/24mm sway bar combo, UMI wonderbar, UMI trans cross member, ES and Spohn poly endlinks with Spohn and TDS bushings.

Need to reclaim the pool table!




Also, adding new Stainless Steel brake lines.



AND, new catch can and wiper bottle to replace the old plastic ones......
