That's awesome!!! I love the ZO6 wheels. Are they 17s or 18s? What kit did you use to lower the car?

Whoever said you couldn't run away from your problems obviously wasn't driving an SS.

I'm pretty sure they are 18s. We also used the tires from a Z06.

Eibach springs. Rides a little bouncy, but it looks good!

Nice choice on wheels.

Sounds like you need shocks now.

That looks very good. I think he means that if u use lowering springs u should use shocks that match. Alan

That's what I meant - higher rate shocks are needed for higher rate springs. A bouncy ride is a sign of being underdamped. The factory shocks installed on these cars are pretty soft from day 1.

anyone know how long the factory shocks are good for? When/If I replace it will be with the SLP Bilstein (the entire system) but how long will these stock Decarbons last?
