Yea, no where near as bad as a corvette. If you can drive a corvette without problem, this will be a walk in the park for you. It's really not that bad. I absolutely love what the springs did for me in both the performance and aesthetics department.

Yup my main reason is aesthetic but the performance is jut icing on the cake. But did you get your car aligned afterwards? And if so if you don't mind me asking about how much was it? According to my dad I should be speeding somewhere in 100-125 for the alignment.

It's a good idea to get an alignment any time you mess with suspension. When I got my pedders bushing inserts installed my alignment cost me right around $100. It could have been cheaper but I asked my dealer to give me the pedders recommended alignment for OEM SS, so it was out of the norm.

You'll definitely need an alignment. What it costs, I can't really tell you with certainty. Your dad is right though, it'll probably be 100-125. I was the test car for pedder's v6 coils so I got a good deal on everything

Lucky SOB. I'd happily give my car for some testing and new parts.

[lscamaro]

Yea, it was a deal I couldn't pass up

[menendez1293]

Figured the alignment was necessary just wanted to get your input on how much it was with you guys. But lucky you lscamaro. I wouldn't mind offering up my car for something like that for cheap mods

Hey just a heads up that some of you may like. This website http://www.centerwatch.com/clinical-...locations.aspx

lists all the ongoing clinical studies in one's area and how much each one pays. There is a meningitis-b vaccine undergoing human trials right now and you get something close to $600. My fiance doesn't approve of me being a guinea pig but I figure some of you may be able to do it and put that money into your car.

Same man, my car is my battle axe. I've had it three years now and every year I've driven in snow. Despite all that it still looks new inside and out, its all about how much care you put into your car. The vans at my job all have less than 30,000 miles yet they look like they have over 100,000. Just like age can be a number to some people, mileage can be that to cars.

I know what you mean though on the front bumpers man, my third one is literally on its way right now. Fortunately I got a job 5 minutes from my house that is all back roads so the car won't be seeing rush hour highway traffic anymore. I think that is where all the chips are from.

I work about a half hour out so I bought a jeep for the winter or I wouldn't make it too work. But when there wasn't snow if drive my camaro cus it was WAY better on gas. But I sold the jeep and bout a really nice eagle talon I found so now I can curb the camaro a little and get work done on her finally.

I'm hoping to go south southwest sometime soon. CT is going to crap with all these gun laws I need to go to a more free state. And better camaro season is good too

[lscamaro]

It's pretty nice out here.... except for summer. Where it's 100 degrees even in the shade lol

For the price of no snow I can take it. Besides I'm a painter so I'm used to being inside a dry hot booth all day lol

Lucky, I just don't have room for another car

Honestly these cars with snow tires are extremely fun in the snow. They aren't easy but they are very predictable. You can easily do controlled drifts. Without snow tires though...count your blessings lol
