Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

I'm really thinking about lowering this thing. The parking lots just suck so much at OU.. Well I need the exercise so I'll park in the good areas.. which are far..
I read your thread [MENTION=3881]Atrus[/MENTION] about cutting the springs. You got a killer stance out of it. I'm all for saving $$$ but I really really like the stance of the car on stranos. I think that is the route I'm going this spring.
you can set the stance to be whatever you want - just cut less. With Stranos, you're going to be taxing the shocks a lot more. Question whether you are going for the form or function. I'd find it hard to believe that Stranos wouldn't ride much more firm than my setup.
My point is, cutting the stockers allows you to get whatever height you want. It's also free. Stranos have been known to exhibit "saggy ass" where the rear looks lower than the front, even if by measurement it isn't. Strano has said that they are function over form - he's a great guy and I am not knocking him.
I'm just saying through my years of car modding I've learned that it's best to be honest to yourself about your wants and your intended usage. Bigger isn't always better, sometimes overkill can make things worse.
My main purpose for this is to make it look better. The 4x4 look is starting to look poopy to me. No plans for autoX. I do want the car to feel firm, handle like it is on rails. I'm 20, a rocky ride doesn't bother me.
I'd rather save money than spend. Hell I'll cut them. I believe the spring rate is different between our two cars, but not by much..
So I guess I'll be cutting the springs this spring.
Time for some good news. I was averaging around shit gas mileage before with the shorties and cats. I'm averaging around 19-21 now with the LTs. Pretty pleased with the LT1 that could. I get better mileage than my park avenue lol
