anyways i bought my buddies old 1995 camaro z28, just got the car completly rewired and running this last month im mostly looking at autox and then if im able to trailer it to road courses south of the border its a lt1 6speed car with deleted cats and flowmaster 60 with 3inch single pipe and a centerforce clutch, has h&r springs, hotchkis sway bars front and rear, hotchkis panhard, hotchkis front and rear arms, i have a set of 18inch oz superleggera wheels on it and plan to put a set of c6 z51 wheels on it for weight over the oz's over winter i wanna upgrade to c6 z51 brakes on all 4 corners, im kinda a minitruck 80hp kinda guy and figured this would be the best place to get whatever kinda advice i can Thank You |

The only thing I can offer is my experience. I had SLP springs and hotchkis sway bars and I had a hard time keeping the back end behind me. I switched to Strano springs and a Strano rear bar, and that helped tremendously. As far as the brakes go, be careful with the rear brakes. Axle hop under braking is a problem with these cars. I'm using C5 front brakes (C6 rotors) with stock rears. Carbotech XP10's front and AX6's rear. For me, this seems to be the perfect brake set up. Even still, while under braking if I am not smooth with the down shift, I can get the axle hopping. You're going to love these cars. The best part is passing expensive cars with the driver trying to figure out how a car that is only good for straight lines is ripping around the corners. Steve |
