Thanks, I'm loving this so much. I finally have the look I want, 14 months and a shit ton of $ after getting her. Here's another view of the new stance.

really a perfect drop... I won't ask if it rubs as I'm sure it does not....but:

1.any diff in ride?
2, did it align ok? if not, what mods to the rear susp in terms of add'l arms for camber etc to get good alignment? - 1 piece or 3 piece?

No rub. Very different ride, not in a bad way, just a different way. It's sportier, tighter & handles like a completely different car. The rear sway bar is very stiff. Makes the rear feel like a solid rear axle rather than the IRS. Kinda sucks on speed bumps but the trade off in terms of how she handles is perfectly fine with me. I imagine with the right setting and tires this car will squat and haul ass down the 1320.

I had the work done @ T&T Performance in Frederick, MD. Tim took it to a specialist to get the alignment correct so I'm unsure what adjustments were made. No control arms or bushings that I know of, the ZL1 rear sway bar is a one peice.

Tim went over how to change the adjustable coil settings, it's a lot of info to absorb but seems pretty straight up and simple to do with the correct tools.

These are the coilovers I had put in.

He gets no credit for the wheels looking good, he didn't make them. What he did do is charge you and sold you 1" lip wheels, which is what you didn't order and pay for. You ordered and paid for 2" lip wheels.

My eamil to ForgedWheelSource over amonth ago and he never got back.

Hi Chris,

I received three of the four wheels, one of the rears didn't show up, but I took a look at them and although they look good, I'm not completely happy with what I received, the rears are prefect and the chrome lip is what I asked for 4", but the fronts are standard 1" lip when I clearly stated I wanted at least a 2" lip which gives off a completely different look as a posed to a simple 1", I'm sure I'm just stuck with them after paying the money I did for them.

Thank you,
Steve

Steve,

Definitely not the message I was expecting...

I know we went back and forth on the lip sizes, and I submitted all info as agreed. I will look over my notes and call Joey tomorrow and go over the notes he has as well.

I worked really hard on this and felt really good when I saw the final product.

I will forward[/QUOTE]

I can't believe you were expecting me to be happy with something I received that wasn't as ordered, if you would have sent a picture of the front wheels I would have pointed it out before you shipped them to me, but you said you didn't what to touch the wheels too many times so you didn't take the picture, makes me wonder now...all I know is I placed an order and went over it several times that I certainly didn't want the standard 1" lip no matter what, I even called them and they said they had special castings to do what I wanted no problem and it didn't happen so yes I am very disappointed, but I will take the wheels and go on my way as they are custom wheels and I'm sure they are going to say they didn't make a mistake, well someone did and it was the paying customer.
