I saw you pulled the Eibach springs back out. Please give me your thoughts. I am thinking about them for mine and would love your input.

Car loos sweet! Great job!

Thanks!

I installed/removed Eibachs made for the standard SS model... However since them Eibach has made a 1LE-Specific spring. I have not yet tested that one, but obviously it should be matched much better to the 1LE MRC programming, and therefore feel much better.

Based on the camber I'll need with the new 19in setup and 305s out front, it might not ever be lowered... jfyi

Are you going to try ZL1 1LE specs?

Sort of... I don't recall the ZL1 1LEs tire sizes but I do know the wheels are 19x11 and 19x12...

So I'm doing 19x10.5 and 19x11 APEX PS-7s with 305/30-19 and 325/30-19 rear....

Updates inline below...

Appearance Stuff...

Phastek order for my Street Scene front lip will finally arrive Monday (only took 6 weeks, heh)
6LE Designs side skirts are still not here - filed a dispute with paypal, I just want the money back as of this point.

Front lip Arrived - needs paint
Got refunded on the skirts

Track Stuff

Purchase Raybestos ST43s (mildly used) from glamcem (Camaro6 user)
glamcem also showed me his 305 Front and 325 Rear NT01 setup on the PS-7s and it convinced me to pull the trigger on the same setup so
Apex PS-7s in 19x10.5 F and 19x11 R are on the way
Nitto NT01 in 305/30-19 and 325/30-19 are also on the way
C7Z06 front fender flares are on the way as well as new TPMS sensors
My OEM 1LE wheels and tires are for sale as a result
Also selling the 305/30-20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s I bought

Stock wheels sold, still selling PSC2s
APEX wheels and NT01s and TPMS sensors get mounted/balanced this weekend
Fender Flares/rock gaurds should go one shortly after

Drag/Highway/Power Stuff

I received a Nitrous throttle body plate :) so I can start piecing together a nitrous kit for the car.
I'll probably be purchasing an emblempros switchboard
I'll also probably be purchasing a friend's nitrous kit and standlone fuel system for a very nice price
600-650whp on spray is probably the end result

This is on hold temporarily to buy a DD - Looking at Jeep GC ecodiesels

Updates:

Lip will be off for paint tomorrow and be back probably a week from Monday
Car is aligned with 3.0 camber up front, 1.25 rear (didn't go higher because of occasional drag racing and wanting to put down a little more power out of the corners as the car is making 471whp/481wtq on E85)
Did enough grinding on the shock bodies that I only had to use 3mm spacers up front with the wheels - which means you *could* keep the stock studs, however I added longer ones because I had ordered them already
Z06 fender flares and front/rear rock guards go on this weekend

Will update with pics once the flares, new lip, and rock guards are on

Some quick updates...

The lip just got dropped off yesterday for paint - having a friend do it and scheduling has been crazy with my workload the last 2 weeks (hence lack of updates)
Z06 fender flares are installed, it took about 1.5 hours to do. 50-60 mins one side and then 30 for the other. Could probably do a set now in under an hour.
Got a screw in my tire on friday with less than 200 miles on the new tires.... finally got the replacement shipped to me yesterday and mounted/balanced today - will go on tonight.
ZL1 1LE 3rd brake light came in - will install today
Also installing the ZL1 AddOns upgraded wickerbill hardware kit
If you have wide rear tires, don't buy RPI rock guards for the rear... they aren't wide enough... this happens (see below)...
Will need to either modify them or buy ZL1 AddOns version
Just FYI - The fronts work fine.

A quick before/after of the rock guards after drilling a new hold and swinging them out to cover for the tires...
Much better, but I'd still buy the ZL1 AddOns stuff if I had to do it over again. Not going to bother because I don't want to spend money twice though.

Thank you sir !

Patiently waiting the lip to be painted. Once it is, and then installed, I believe we're done with the car on the exterior other than side skirts in the distant future.

I'd like to do the rear seat delete, some other easy weight reduction, and a harness after that.

That'll probably be all the more I do to the car for the remainder of the year.

Trying to sell my motorcycle in the next week or two, and buy a truck to replace it (which will be the DD and tow vehicle for this thing) in the fall.

Over the winter I will probably get the nitrous installed and perhaps a cam and retune.

So I bought a comfy cruiser that can tow the Camaro...

(dealer pics, haven't taken any myself)

2008 Chevy Avalanche LTZ - Every box checked. Nav, Rear DVD (not that I'll ever use it because no kids... ever), powered running boards, moonroof, tow pack, etc etc.

Gotta find out if the tow pack got the aux trans cooler, and if not I'll install one, otherwise it'll get a trailer brake controller, a new Android-auto headunit that works with the factory rear-camera, 5% tint, and some back to black or whatever to make the black plastic look less faded.

Rides nice, Wife likes it because heated seats lol.

Why the 5.3L heads?
