Finally got around to doing some long-overdue suspension work...
...and thought I'd share with the rest of the class!
I picked up a Hotchkis Track Pack for my Camaro for a total steal ($300). I originally planned on putting the car up on jackstands to do the install myself, but I've got a buddy with a shop who does suspensions as their specialty and he offered to do it so cheap I couldn't say no. They were done in 45 minutes where it would have taken me hours and more than a few expletives . Bella is now lowered 1" all the way around, with new struts from an SS, the Hotchkis adjustable sway bars and new BMR tunnel brace. I'm loving the stance! Of course it may have compromised ride quality a little... but really, not bad at all, and I can't WAIT to get her on the road course this Spring and see how much I can improve my times. I was already beating porsches and several V8 cars last year in my lil' V6 Here's a pic-- there are more here: http://www.ratemyridez.com/bella-sar...tom-camaro-rs/ and I'd love to see y'all go check the car out there.

Thank you guys!
They really are a night and day difference in handling. I'm dying to get it out on the track.
