Want some new struts? What brand springs to buy? How much camber to run? What brake pads? What's the best setup for your situation....

i think the rotors are bigger. plus baer brakes makes a good conversion for the cavi, as well as SSBC.

as far as brake up grades , with the 17's its a bitch to slow it. i think i read on here that the Z26 rotors were bigger or something. im not gonna worry about rears just the fronts

What ever happened to liking Eibach springs? Sure your not dragging your muffler on the ground, but it offers lowered stance, and better performance (just a tweak better then gtz springs and lower to boot)

Million mile warranty last I saw.

You get what you pay for... remember that, and with Automotive parts the penalty is sometimes catastrophic.

I have also found out that 12" Camaro brakes, as much stopping power as they provide, REALLY hurt your 1/4 mile ET. At least that's my general finding right about now.

Have you weighed them in comparison to a stock wheel... 20lbs actually sounds comparable to stock IIRC... Someone had stock wheel weights on bstuff or bnet before, not sure which.

My wheels are ~17lbs and thats "light" in comparison to factory... so 20 shouldn't be all that bad.
