Enjoying the cheap race gas -$1.63 a gallon for 78%!

Ordered strap points from ZL1 Addons:



https://zl1addons.com/products/camar...5-strap-points

With the new splitter etc., dyno strapping will be better.

Still waiting to hear about the CF wing... hope they do one!

While I’m at it, picked up a trailer hitch — for those track days!

So, bit the bullet...

Bought Pedders coilovers and camber plates on a great deal from CompleteStreet!

Camber plates:



https://www.cspracing.com/pedders-ad...camaro/581050/

Coilovers:



https://www.cspracing.com/pedders-ex...-v6-v8/160086/

With a discount code of Turkey, got a great deal!

Will be selling all my 1le struts, shocks, and Moreno camber plates, (new) Pegasus camber plates soon...

Adding these to the rear inner LCA bushings:

Should take care of the last few items on the suspension...

I do have 2 sets — keeping all Pedders though with this.

Already sold my 1LE backup struts/shocks before I could post them..

Now to get the camber plates sold - next ;o)

Well, Juiced refunded me for the bushings. Looks like they’re not available anymore.

Looking at Detroit speed LCAs now (on sale) as well as their front sway bar links. Already ordered 1LE rear links...

Hoping one of the vendors has a deal still... RDP is higher than Detroit Speed, very unusual..

https://rdpstore.com/p-7807-detroit-...15-camaro.aspx

https://www.detroitspeed.com/adjusta...-camaro-042304

Gonna ask Steve...

I need to get sways and updated end links as well. Thanks for sharing! I'm assuming the ZL1 end links are just as good as Detroit Speed's.

Edit: the more I look at it, it looks like Detroit Speed's rear sway "update kit" includes GM endlinks (hard to tell). Guessing that's why you got ZL1 endlinks off Ebay and then got the rear sway by itself?

I had the ZL1 links with my jpss swaybar. I'm just replacing them with the new control arms at the same time since I'm in there.

ZL1 links are hard to beat...

Fronts, I have the ZL1’s also but, like the adjustment Detroit’s give...

So Mark (ABADZL1) and I have been texting the last couple of days looking at intake manifold volume and prediction coefficients settings in HP Tuners. Mark turned me onto those settings as it appears many who add superchargers to their non-SC Camaro's need to account for the volume differences. We’re testing those changes — since it has been discussed on HP Tuners. I’m also ported so that was also discussed on HP Tuners.

I’ll post up those once I test out my transition lean spot.

So, while I'm going crazy, decided to get the Detroit Speed Motor Mounts:



From DynoSteve:

https://www.rdpstore.com/p-7804-detr...15-camaro.aspx

With the discount code, best deal out there...

Gotta support the vendors ;o)

what I’m really aiming for is the adjust-ability of height -- these will allow that. Interested to see how they 'run' on the street...

We'll see...
