naw, i didnt buy them yet. im still debating whether i should go with Pfadt or the BMR 1.4" drop all around. The BMR springs wont come in until 4-5 weeks, says BMR rep.

Heres what i really want to do, if i do get Pfadt springs then im obligated to get 22" Vossen CCV1 rims but if i go with the BMR 1.4" drop, im worried i might have clearance issues with the vossens and might opt for a set of 20" havoc rims which are cheaper but wont TRULY make me happy like a set of vossens lol. Either way send me a pm on how much you want for them.

oh yeah this might sound stupid but does anyone know exactly how your suppose to pronounce "Pfadt". i just dont want to go into the body shop pronouncing it wrong and the guys thinking im an idiot lol. is it PEE-FADT? or FADT with the "p" silent.

Don't worry, I don't think anybody knows how its pronounced without asking them (I know I didn't). It's "FOT". I would say go with what you want or you'll always be saying I shoulda, coulda, woulda..... I can even help you install the springs. I'll PM you soon, it will be cheap and I don't have a lot of miles on them. I'm waiting so see on the coilovers first. Personally, I like the 20 inch rims, but more for performance reasons. Tough weighing performance vs. looks. I forgot, do you have stick or auto?

mines is an auto. i was disappointed at first for getting an Auto because the only reason i needed an auto was for my MOM to drive the camaro (its been 4 months and she has YET to touch it....sigh) but after hearing about the clutch issues on the camaros, im glad i went auto.

yeah, let me know if your going with coilovers. i would greatly appreciate it if you helped me with the install or if you had a jack and jackstands that i could borrow.

Sorry for so late responding. Been sick and been stuck in bed all week.

Wasnt sure what I wanted to do about the wheel size. I kept it 20" wheels, stock width so that I can use the old tires to save room (No place to store them in my condo). My plan is to order a wider rear wheel later with race radial tires installed for track use. Right now I have to be careful not to snap the rear axle and adding extra rubber on the ground is gonna break them. I plan on upgrading the axle later down the road.

You cant miss us. They usually put us together in a row. Should be 6-10 camaros lined up in the parking lot by Ruby Tuesdays.

Quick post before I jump back in bed. Still combating the bug.

Got an email that the Windward Mall Cruze has been cancelled for this weekend. No mention of why. If I get more details, I will post later.

I was on my way to my dad's house today along the H3 from Kaneohe to Aiea, and there was an Inferno Orange going in the same direction. I was totally scoping it out. It's a nice color, but what I was really looking at was the blacked out lights. Tail lights, reverse lights, side markers. I never thought about doing it before but I think I might want to do that. It would probably look amazing on a black car. Anybody know where or how I can do this on the cheap side?

Thanks Craig, and Kreature. I'll have to check out that website.

My wife saw an IOM with black stripes and black-out taillights on H3. We live in Waipahu and she works near KMCS. I think she saw your car. She said, "he needs the rear black bowtie..."

Am I training her well?

Now, need to send the subliminal message... supercharger... supercharger...

Sooner rather than later... this year....
