Hi, new to the handling scene and am pretty happy that I found you guys!!!

I'm been with the Drag racing crowd for the past couple years and finally realized that I actually need a car that I can drive everyday if I wanted and take highways exit ramps without slowing down to a snails pace since I'm scared to bend the 3.5" skinnies up front (no sway bar, so same case with street setup).

My power-band is probably not the best for road racing/autocross, but I hope to fix that in the near future with a cam swap but I just installed my suspension setup yesterday and am damn happy with the results! I can actually take turns fast!!!

As for my setup, it's a '94 Camaro Z28 with a LS1 (6.0ltr iron block) and T56 conversion. Here's the suspension setup:

- Koni adjustables front and back (4/4 kit from Strano)
- Strano front and rear sway bars
- Ground Control Coil over kit (550 in front, 175 in back)

This thing handles like it's on rails!!!! Feels a bit shaky going over bad surfaces, so subframe connectors are next! (I seriously can't belive I still don't have subframe connectors after all I've done!)

Sorry no pics of before after right now but I'll post some later when I get the car cleaned up and the ride height adjusted after the springs settle, but here's pics from the install :grin:

I have the same shock/spring/conversion setup, save for double adjustable front Konis, and 600# front ERSes. A suggestion; IF you care about this sort of stuff at all, paint the rear Suspension Spring Specialty springs with POR 15, powdercoat them, or dip them in that rubberized electrical insulation coating stuff that they sell in home centers, as they WILL rust even worse than the rear axle. I have the exact alignment specs that Kevin (trackbird) suggested. They are the close to perfect compromise for street/track/autocross. This post has been edited by dailydriver: Nov 12 2007, 05:40 PM
