I'm doing an annual change for my diff and tranny, but I am putting about 8 on the car each year, with lots of autocross runs and 2-3 track days per year. It definitely shifts better with fresh...

Everything they said is correct, and it's pretty damn annoying that one of eight speaker wire outputs is on the other connector to the radio module. However, that is one of the rear wires. I had...

You don't want to tap into the rear speaker signals for your sub: they aren't full frequency range. You want to tap into the front speaker signal.

From what I see, the problem with using BMR's offset end links is that they use a polyurethane axial bushing for the frame mount (because you can't buy offset rod spherical rod ends). That's really...

But aside from that, you also get incredibly shitty quality. What a deal! I seriously don't understand why these tires still sell. If they were half the price, maybe. But they aren't much cheaper...

I have experience with both brands on other cars, but not our Camaros. In general, I think you'll find that Konis on their softest setting will be more comfortable than Bilsteins. At least on C4s,...

If you end up with that big a difference in downforce between front and rear, you're going to have a lot of understeer at high speed. You'll probably want the rear of the car to squat a bit at high...

They aren't that close. The exhaust flow isn't restricted at all. I just added the shields in case the heat would stream back into the outside tires during a highway drive.
