Default The Stance - Matt's Camaro

Matt(our engineer)brought his car down today and was kind enough to let us all have a go behind the wheel. Rides great, drives awesome and the stance is a-OK! Enjoy some of the pics I took earlier today! The other thing to note is that since we have headers made to go with the subframe, nothing hangs down! Note the underside of the car........








The rest of the pics can be found on my fotki site:http://public.fotki.com/CraigMorriso...ished-product/

I think the car looks great. I agree it sits a bit high, but would bringing it down sacrifice ride quality?

Of course with those flush headers he certainly has the space to go down.

Thanks!

Tim

I didn't say the stance was too high, I said it was a-ok as in I was showing off pics of what our new bolt-in sub looks like. There's aound 5 1/4" of ground clearance under the subframe. This puts the car at a nice lowered stance, but not so low that you are going to have to worry about road hazards. C6 suspension components, Wilwood brakes, power 15:1 AGR rack, no mods to the firewall or inner fenders, AND it drives awesome!!!........I know I'm a little biased, but it's cool!

It sits a bit high perhaps as compared to a frame dragging low rider. IHMO, that's about as low as you can go and still navigate ordinary driving obstacles like speed bumps and crowned driveways.

Craig and Matt: The car looks great!

looks nice, header fitment is killer
i agree it is a bit high i think most of the serious pro touring cars are closer to 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 ground clearance
nice work either way
