Hello i'm new here - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Im here to learn a thing or two from you road race X-crossers. I have 2 Camaros a 01 SS SLP 1LE car (w/ me) and a 2002 Z that I set up for the 1320(in storage). Currently I am assigned on Crete a island in the Medditeranian Sea (I'm Air Force). The roads here are not that great and are very bumpy, slick, and uneven. My SS has adjustable Koni's and I turned them up a little which has helped with the car bouncing out in turns. So if you guys can shoot me some good info on how to make my car handle don't be afraid to add anything. I don't drive like a idiot like most of the locals do but a little better performance out of this car on the tight turns and crappy conditions would help.
My car is basically stock minor mods LT's, Lid, BMR LCA's, bolt on SLP SFC's and whatever SLP threw into the 1LE package. Oh it has a brandnew set of BFG KD's too. I have been wondering if a strut tower brace would do anygood but I heard it affects handling in good and bad ways. What kind of springs would be a good upgrade? I like the low look but the roads here will tear the underside up. Thanks --Ryan

Allignment was the best thing i did to my 95, the stock settings just suck! You can do a Ground Control adjustable coilover setup, and you can upgrade the spring rate from your 360lb to want most run with the DA Koni's 500 to 600lbs. The STB doesn't do anything on are cars, but the SFC do alot! Look around here, there is so much great info!
