When I did get talk to them they had done extensive testing setting up a very similar car and found these to be the right springs. They have worked out well. The ride is about like a stock M3.
800 is a good spring

With Carl's lead I have as well. Check it out.

As car as wheels: get at least 18's, so you will find more tires at 275, and have room for larger brakes.

Carl had .....I believe the factory z28 steering arm....I used the same steering arm before I went to the tru-turn system and I also ran 9.5 inch wide rims with 275's on the front

the z28 steering arms is much shorter and turns in more for better ackerman...remember they were running FAT rims on the trams-am cars back in the 60's and 70's...I pointed that out years ago and had a bunch of folks telling me on some forums, it wasn't true.... I was lucky enough at a restoration company I was at for many years to have not one but TWO original vintage trans-am Camaros to study
