I found a fab shop with a set of scales. They also welded on some control arm relocation brackets for me.
They tweaked the front coil overs and adjusted the panhard bar. This is with a 175 lb dude in the drivers seat and about 3/4 tank of gas. (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/Steve91T/Camaro/56EB526A-4765-4A1A-B47C-E692CC41D54B.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/Steve91T/Camaro/E7637C6D-3445-4410-99DD-775AC886D1AA.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/Steve91T/Camaro/2F679842-450A-431C-B8C1-D75026B62912.jpg) Anyway, what do you guys think about the numbers? I just wanted to get it somewhat close for now. Once I get my LS1, I'll have it balanced again. Between the LS1 and a light weight flywheel, I'm guessing I'll drop another 80 lbs. that'll be nice. |

It's REALLY that hard to find good fab shops down there in the heart of 'roundy-round' country?!?
HERE it is near impossible, with the exception of Phoenix Racing, who charge like $250.00/hour+, but there I would expect you to be able to hit 10 of them with a baseball! This post has been edited by dailydriver: Mar 9 2016, 09:49 PM |

Ha no....took two phone calls. There are fab shops everywhere. I'm only a 1/2 mile away from Gibbs. Every few days I can hear them running engines on the dyno and practicing pit stops. Yesterday I was at Roush Parts. A whole ware house full of used NASCAR stuff. I could have spent all day in there. So cool. I walked out of there with some carbon fiber brake ducting and a whole bunch of hose for brake ducts and my fresh air helmet. So much cheaper than buying this stuff new. The guy who set my suspension up and welded the relocation brackets only charged me $140. I love living down here. |
