I remember some discussion about the quick jack a year or so ago. People seemed to like them. I think they said there was a specific model to get for the Camaro and it required some extensions, I believe. I could probably use some. The race ramps look pretty good also.

Before I buy those race ramps I go with the Twin busch. This is the right tool everything eles is just a compromise. Maybe a used one. Or one from SEMA? And for

1x oil change per year (for that I go to a rental DIY garage)

1x wheels off and on per year

I stick to my Wheel hub stands.

I still think those wheel hub stands are awesome!

And thanks for the link. Didn’t know could get lifts that inexpensive. Still I need a garage capable of using them. But that gives me some food for thought.

Yeah, I'm looking at those lifts and thinking I need to buy a new house to deal with my vehicle addiction.

Folks... I might have a problem. Is there a support group for this?

7 motorcycles, the fifty, a 4Runner, and a Jeep. I need help.

Interesting. But I do live in Memphis (one of the worst cities in the USA for crime) and I don’t want them stolen/messed up being outside. When I move and build a shop one day.

Update on the suspension components.

So I had a chance to take her out by myself and push her a little on my "test road".

Talk about a confidence builder. I beat my top G Force of .86 with a new high of .94. Got that by applying more throttle out of one of the turns. No tire squealing whatsoever.

The rear is so planted that I can really feel the rubber mounted cradle bushings. I'm afraid to replace them due to the ride being too harsh.

It's getting on the stiff side, but not bad enough to regret the upgrades. It's a Camaro, to perform it has to be a little stiff.

Very nice. Glad to hear it keeps the rear planted. Adds more stuff to the wishlist. Thanks Heath! Lol.

The guy at the dealership I take her to knows me by name - and I only go there for oil changes.

I bought my 50th used is there any way I can find the sticker that has all the options listed on it? I also noticed previous owner added different tires and a different air intake, should I take it to a dealership to see what else is on it? The dealership I bought it from just ceased contact as soon as I bought it
