Can you share the model number please? I’ve been looking at a few options similar to this for my garage at home, so I don’t have to run it to the shop everytime I want to use a lift.

Installed my Megan Racing coilovers this weekend. Ride is a lot nicer, the old shocks/struts were definitely done

Got the mirror for $30ish shipped. I didn't plug it in as I didn't want to mess with all the wiring, so I just wont have auto-dim. I love it!

They are a very good setup for that price. From what I have read they are made by BC Racing, but not sure how true it is. Did you cut the trunk? I used a hole saw and get a very clean cut for the damper adjustment extensions. I still have to go back in and measure the exact hole size as I want to order some rubber grommets, but I have the cut clear coated for rust prevention for now.

I lowered my car a lot with these. When I got my alignment they could not get me any better than -1.5º camber on the rear. I will need to get new camber bolts to get close to 0º. The front was no issue at all. I run them on almost full hardness currently. It is hard to tell from the shadows in my picture, but the rear is about a half inch higher than the front. Now I just need to get new wheels as I can't stand how they are tucked so far under the fender.

Klowny 1969's videos on Youtube were a big help.

Installed Legato axle back. Not bad for $150.

It’s about $95 for that gen5diy harness. I got 1 about a month ago and for now I’m just going to just do the same.

So all you need for the OEM-like swap is their harness? Damn, that mirror is so much nicer.

Man, I need to win the lottery...this just never ends.

LCPLPunk · 05-13-2020, 09:19 AM

Yep, just have to make sure the mirror has the same part number as the one in the harness listing.

Man, you got guts. I don't think I could cut into my car like that just for shocks.

It's the BL-5000SLX. I had it before because most of my other cars are smaller wheelbase.

For the camaro this works, but the EXT would be better. Or I know QJ makes extensions for the SLX as well.

I also used the pinch weld blocks. The front I lined up with the stock jack point and the rear was just a few inches short of the rear spot, but still worked fine.

Daughter repainted the letters on the ZL1 engine cover with her art pens. Silver supercharged and white LSA. I think in the future if this works well and holds I am going to plasti-dip the cover black and make the supercharged red and LSA white.
