New from Lake Orion

[SOPES]

Hi to all. I have loved F-bodies since I was a kid. I have owned a 2nd gen, several third gens, I had a 97 anniversary drop top in college and Finally settled on a Camaro SS drop top in triple black with a stick. It was previously owned by a forum member, his name is Conrad.

Hey welcome to the forums. I'm in Lake Orion too. Parents are in Waterford and my girlfriend is from Lapeer. Just noticing the areas that people are from.

If I see you I'll wave! I have a NBM Z28 with TTops.

Thanks to everyone ! I have been looking at upgrades for suspension, sub frame and cold air intakes.... any suggestions ? also smooth bellow? and lastly for now.... why does the SLP center exit exhaust have to be so expensive ?

Founders Performance for budget tubular suspension. It's not bad for the money!

For springs and shocks you'll find a millions different opinions from cut springs to Stranos and Monroe shocks to Konis. Springs don't matter much more than stance, and most people have been happy with SLP Bilstein shocks.

A cold air intake is a waste on an LS1 car. Get a SLP or other aftermarket lid

Smooth bellow is more appearance than anything, but can be found through SLP

SLP CME has been reproduced by 6litereater, search him and you'll find his store. You'll need the rear valence to make it look correct.

Oh and welcome to the site!

First of all, welcome to MiFBody!

Second, ask Conrad about the parts he had on the car before; it was a pretty sweet set up.

if you want to autocross, get Koni shocks and Strano springs. And a good orthodontist.

Like was said earlier, a lot of us are happy with SLP Bilstein shocks on stock suspension. You already have the SS sway bar upgrade on it, try a set of Bilsteins and see what you think.

Come join us on Woodward some Friday night!

I did lower it and put bilsteins on all the way around, I love the looks of it lowered, I think the next investment is rear lower control arms and on car adjustable pan hard. Then itll be time for sub frame connectors and strut tower brace this winter along with some wheels... I think Im going to get the slp air lid, the volant system looks cool but is more than double the price. I did put a set of drilled and slotted rotors on last night. I got mine from BRAKEMOTIVE on ebay for $172 with free shipping (all 4 rotors and front and rear pads) Great quality from BRAKEMOTIVE

PS. I will be going out to Woodward as much as I can. where and when are the hang outs?

[ktl711]

We hang out on Friday nights at Auto Europe, roughly two blocks south of Lincoln (14 1/2 Mile) and Woodward in Birmingham. We can park there any time after 6:30 PM.
