you'll like it, sorry the eibach was messed up. Was the endlink so messed up couldnt fix it or was there more wrong? As for the Hotchkiss stuff Are you going to track the car alot or just street drive? The reason I ask is the tower brace wont do much on the street and you may not notice it as the car is stiff allready, same with the chassis brace. Really good for the v8's wheel hop and helps on the track but for the v6 on the street Hotchkiss said dont bother, not that it cant help but costs $ If you do I will have to ride in it and check out the ride and all.

really ? so for the v6 its not even worth it ? no I don't plan on doing any track days but on the occasional twist and turns on the roads I plan on giving it all I got so thats why I was going to go with the full set up... but now I'm confused cause of what you said lol

If you are really going to push it then I guess its worth it. Rob says the chassis brace ties the car together on the track but he has the power and really can drive that thing. Check with Hotchkis to get their input but really make sure they know how you are going to use the car,they didn't say I needed it for what I'm doing and I like to push it in the canyons, and the v8's can better use the braces better then us v6'ers. I guess we wont know unless one of us does it as I cant think of any v6's that have the braces.

Saw a bunch of Camaros, mostly V6's at Neptune's Net up past Malibu this weekend. This was Saturday afternoon. Looked mostly like a younger crowd. The only reason why I noticed was because there were like three of you, and one of you, I think the guy in the white one had a SoCal Camaro5 Family sticker or two if I recall right.

You guys looked like you were having an issue finding parking.

Don't want this to sound dicky, but I passed an Inferno Orange SS headed South on the Angeles Forest Hwy this morning.

They tried getting me on motor on the straights, but about ran wide right off the hill on the first good left hander.

I don't expect anyone to own up to it. It wasn't the cars fault.

In my Cobra? No. I was in an '03 Honda Civic Hybrid 4-Door!

...nice looking car though!
