Yup

I'm planning on doing the heater hose mod next to lower the rear end 1/2 inch

Damn those wheels look good. Though I am biased. I did the heater hose mod. It made a slight difference but nothing major. Looks better than stock though

insidethreat07 · 10-15-2012, 11:06 PM

paint the calipers body color. It will make it look better. Im repainting mine and putting the CAMARO on the calipers this winter

You should check out the NT05 (non-drag radials).

I thought about those, but Im looking for a dedicated track tire. I doubt it will see any road use

Damnit.. I realized I'm the only 4th gen on this site running 16s now too.

How easy was it and how long did it take you?

They are but there is no issues with grip. I had fusion z tires back in 02 but I have no idea if they are the same tire. They are fine on a daily driver with a little spirited driving. Glad you like them.

I had it on a lift so like 30 mins. Take wheel off, i unbolted both shocks at the same time to get the axle to drop down more and pull the spring out easier. Then just take the factory insulator out and put the hose around the spring. Put it all back together and your done.

Lee0123567 · 10-18-2012, 03:29 PM

Alrighty, that doesn't sound too hard.

Lee0123567 · 10-25-2012, 06:57 PM

Did the heater hose mod and i can tell decent difference!

Can anybody else tell?

Not with those angles. If they were both profile views then maybe..
