Love the evolution but more importantly hope you get your health in order.

Thanks everybody - the OLC has been, and is, one heck of a journey. There was a point about a month ago when it looked like I wouldn't be able to drive again - it made me thankful for all that I have been able to experience with the car and all the great people that I've been able to meet. It looks like that fear is behind us now but I'm not sure when I'm going to be truly able to get in the car and drive it again in anger. Hopefully soon.

Anyways, the LG Motorsports billet drop spindles are more than just a killer piece of hardware - they are 100% functional and resolve a common issue with first gen suspension geometry when running C5 or C6 components. A lot of the time, with stock uprights and (lower) ride heights, the lower control arms end up being non-parallel with the ground which is less than ideal (but obviously tolerable in all but extreme cases).

With the LG Motorsports drop spindles the lower control arms are parallel at ride height. In fact David pulled out his trusty Laser Level to work verify everything and set ride height based on the best possible starting point.

We've taken a first stab at the alignment (rough for now but we needed something to get our wheel sizing correct) and I think we'll end up with between 5 and 9 degrees of caster and about 2.5 degrees negative camber. We're still going around on final specs but it's awesome having the flexibility to even be able to discuss numbers like that.

James looks great, I'm going to have to look into these drop spindles. Can't wait to see it at seam, good luck.

Glad all the mods worked out James. Look forward to your good health and comparing notes soon :cheers:

Great update. Happy that you are healthy enough to tackle all of these improvements. Keep getting better so you can drive angry!

How big is the sway bar on the AME setup?

James,
I'm glad you're feeling better!!!!

Bump.

I've seen pics of the one lap Camaro on Instagram, but can't find an update to what James has done. For example, the front end looks different then what is in this build thread.
