LS3 Custom Tune,Hotchkis 1" drop,Borla Sport Axle Back Review
Thought I would pass onto others, review of recent mods I had done, I went to RDP of Painsville Ohio, DynoSteve download custom tune. I feel much better throttle response, especially in 3rd gear. Overall it just pulls strong, much better feeling of HP.
Hotchkis 1 inch drop all 4 corners is just right, has nice rake to it, rear has slightly higher pitch then the front, at this time feel no difference then with stock springs. Has nice look and or profile. Borla Sport axle back, has great sound, not overwhelming what so ever nor quiet. I heard that with some exhaust you get drone, I have yet to experience that. Here is few pic's. If your in the market for any of these mods I would say go for it. |

You must be driving on very smooth, brand new asphalt roads. I have the Hotchkis lowering kit set up as well and the ride is much stiffer, making you feel every bump. But I knew that going into it. For performance and looks, highly recommended. For people who want smooth ride; stay away.
When i did mine, I also put 315/275 Nitto NT05's on. Felt like I was driving a formula one race car. Unbelievable traction.

I have the Hotchkis 1" track pack.
I love it, but with the LT, I scrap over speed bumps all the time. Hell, I had to re move the frame connectors because I could pull into my parking garage. With that said, the springs and sway-bars are 1 of my favorite mods.

Nice day in North East Ohio..( sun with no clouds to be found).Went for nice run with the wife. I like the recent mods.. it really changed everything about the factory settings and looks. With that being said, I like my Camaro.

Steve is the man! I think the car is lowered perfectly, and looks awesome. As far as ride goes, most will call it subjective, and I guess it is. If you're happy with it, rock on!
