LOL! You blew the diff... NICE!

Definitely sounds like you need to get something a bit stronger! You might have mentioned it earlier... What are your future plans? Inj 355? LS1/2/3? I know you love Drag Racing, So a 9" might better suit your needs in the long run (Ease of changing gears, wide range of experience and knowledge about them etc)

So she is running again with a set of 3.08 diff gears I borrowed from 2ELCS. The rockers feel awesome, feels so strong higher up in the revs. Need another set of 3.9s so I can head out to the drags and see what difference they make! It will be very interesting to see.

The Billet Specialties look good in that diameter. They're not too big. Just spot on. Its gonna be hard to choose.

MRLXSS - Camira springs you say? Are they cheap and how low will it go? I wanna tuck the rear a bit more.

nial8r - The billets are a beautiful wheel. First spotted them on Lees LJ and loved them. But now I like black centre with polished lip aswell and the Showwheels Thrashstar is a nice wheel with a similar design but in black. Decisions decisions.


LJ355 - Hahah yeah not a fan of the GTS's :P Ill give you $100 for your simmons cause thats about all I have :tease:

You gotta lower the front too.... Angle Grinder can do that though! HAHAHAHAHA!

If you want a stiffer springs, you could try fitting IRS Commodore ones... Thats what I run in my Hatch...

Yeah I dont think the front can come much lower. There isnt much clearance on full lock as is (guards have been fully rolled). They are 14x7s on the front with a 195/65 tyre, so it may come a little bit but I dont think a lot.

As for the rears, if i can find some cheap camira springs Ill have a bit of a play around and see how I go. What model commo IRS springs Matt? Or does it not matter.

Hey Blake, thats a nice stance you seem to have there. What needed to be cut on the camira springs you bought and why? How do you like the HQ racing springs?

The ends of them didnt fit into like where the springs seat, so some coils would need to be cut off to make
the ends bigger so that they would seat. The hq springs are pretty good to be honest, soft enough but not to soft
that they dontt pull up and hit the bumpstops. I cant go any lower on the back than i already have, when i go up driveways etc,
the rear tyres rub in the guards. Front of mine could do with a bit lower but my tyres rub on full lock also, ive got 15x7's,
4.5"back space and 205 60's. Not much travel left there either, so interested to know how low you can ctually get it?
