It will happen for sure. After everything is finished, I will be making a trip up there to meet everyone from the club.

Looks great, my power slots just came in and I just ordered the Kore3 5 line kit from Tobin. I see some coin in the front of your car, good A arms, good K, good shocks, your doing every thing right and clean!

That is the exact kit I got from Kore3. I got the front and rear 5 line C5 conversion kit. You will be happy with them. Very high quality stuff and everything is included for a complete install.

No, I have the double adjustable QA1 shocks. I bought some of the BMR spring cups so that I could run stock springs. My lowering springs were killing me and the ride quality.

Looks great. Just one question, is that powder on the caliper pistons?

No shots with the wheels on? That's like taking a picture of cake without the icing.

I did this same upgrade over the summer. It is so worth every drop of money. I got everything for 80 bucks off a wrecked car though.
Shane is jealous. The entire suspension on that car looks badass. Props to you.

Looks good. I've got a C5 conversion kit in my near future. I don't have the LS1 spindles though, been thinking about getting some of them.

Just when I've decided the colors for my brakes... damn... maybe I will go all red.

Keep it subliminal IMO. I'd only go red if the car was red.

Werd. I like 'em car colored or black. But red does look good.

Y not? White cars stay cleaner looking than darker colored cars. Same should go for white calipers too I would think. maybe not. I have white calipers going on my car pretty soon so I will be testing my theory.

Thanks guys! The brake/suspension area is definetly one area of my car that I am very happy with. Not much more I can do...which is a good thing.

Let me know how that goes and get some pics up. It might be too flashy for me though.

So are you still running lt1 rears? If so then what kind of lines did you use front and rear?
