Vivek's Vert.

Nope, just spacing out the back so it's not hellasunk. My only fear is that it may poke too much, but I think it'll be okay considering the fitment when I had 10mm spacers. I'll be installing 15mm's. My oil pan right now is about as low as it's gonna get, even though I have a finger's worth of wheel gap up front.

Going lower up front??

Woohoo finally got the lugs in. (3 from a junkyard like a month ago, 5 from EJ today). Texting alex to set up a fender rolling appointment right now. I'll hopefully get it done tomorrow :D

No the clamp is actually holding fine. That's the first thing I checked and it doesn't look like it's moved. I'll jack up the car as soon as I finish breakfast and take a look at it.

I wouldnt even bother trying to fix it back to the way it was made. Seriously, just get a metal bar welded to it. I promise it wont come loose.

weld the grills on too ;)

So I was right today that I felt my exhaust was lower and scraping over things it normally doesn't. No clue why the hell it's hanging this low, but I'll take a look later tonight when it's less burning hot. I also hit the brakes so hard today that my grills went for a toss. I picked them up though and they actually look to be in great condition for sliding across a road from maybe 40 mph.

Centered the steering wheel:

Nardi goodness:

Drove it around the block, pulled over a couple times to adjust it.
I know this pic means nothing, but it's centered now.



So I may end up fixing the problem that my rear suspension has <1" of travel. What are your opinions on KYB (GR2 or Excel-G) Camaro shocks? I've heard good things about them (nice and stiff), but I'm not sure how much more they can actually compress over my current ones. Does anyone have any input? I have stock JOM shocks. If someone could compare those to Bilstein Sports, then I know the Camaro shocks should compress about 30-40mm more. Any experience with these shocks is appreciated...i'm not gonna get the KYB adjustable ones because it's just not worth it to me. The two I mentioned are $25 each on blunttech.

Im glad you removed the brows. Looks far better. Im with most here, raise the rear a bit to get rid of the reverse rake. I have a bit of a reverse and I drives me batty. total pkg looks great V. :up:

Wheels are 16x9. I feel that people in trucks think they're superior by the way they look at me sometimes. Fuck them. And I needa to find a rig trailer laying around to take some pics and see how far off my roofline is.
