Was asking some questions on f-body.com and someone from there gave me this site.
So far, I love what I see, nice to see not everyone is into straightline performance 24/7

Now as for very very basic stuff, I am very very new to the real suspension tweeks.
Pretty much I have always been under the impression things like st braces and SFC's were pretty much night and day differences on these cars.

However, I am looking to get into crossing the SS and have looked at things like hal Q1 shocks and springs and what not.

I already have sub frames for the car other than the st brace the suspension is typical SS set-up

number one, what are the reccomendations on chcnging springs and torque arms and shocks and anything I am leaving out? Looking for personal opinions that I may take into consideration.

number 2, I am in jersey, where could I find info on taking the car to an event after she is set up to my happiness?

Any and all info and opinions are welcome
thanks, Bruce

Welcome! Not sure how you plan to use your car (autox/track events/time trials?). Set-up is determined by primary use. I'm also from NJ and primarily use my '02 Z-28 for Open Track events. If you are looking to get into autox, the site: www.autox4u.com is the place to start for people in NJ. HPDE track events are available through: trackmasters, NASA, PDA, Car Guys, and any of the marque specific clubs. Just choose an organization that runs a track you'd like to learn. Seat time is the most useful thing you can do to improve your skills. Despite what some people think, the 4th gen. Camaro is a pretty respectable track car right out of the box. It is more than equal to the skills of most novice and intermediate level drivers. Did I mention seat time? Save the mod money and drive, drive ,drive.
