Gen 2 Camaro Control Arm choice

The Wilwoods have to do with matching the rear 4 piston Dynapro 12.19" rear brakes I just put on the car. I was trying to keep the brakes balanced front and rear. You make a good point about the brakes on the AFX so I called Wilwood to confirm the front/rear caliper balance with the C5's. While it won't be ideal it seems like I can get away with my current front brakes while using the proportioning valve to dial it out. As of now I think I'm going to order up the high clearance/AFX setup from Speedtech and leave the current brakes/wheels. Who knows how I'll feel by Monday when I can order it up.....I feel like I'm losing my mind trying to figure all this out.

I have to over think it, my bank account is already screaming at me. Luckily (or maybe not) I don't have a wife or kids and my dog is very forgiving of my car addiction. I image by EOW I'll be ordering everything including front suspension, brakes and new wheels/tires.....

I spoke with Jay on Friday about some more of the details related to the front suspension. It was late in the day and he wanted to go home but he still took time to listen to me and help.

I was just giving you a hard time.

I know you were, its all good.

Looks like I'm most likely going to bite the bullet and just buy everything including arms, spindle, brakes and wheels. This assumes there are no huge surprises when I get the cost for the front setup. I'm waiting for Jay to send over the cost with the necessary idler and pitman arms for the front with the high clearance/AFX setup.

Now comes step 2 of pain....deciding on a new set up wheels to fit the new front brakes.... Thinking either CCW LM20's or KWC 015's with either a satin grey or satin bronze/gold finish on the face and polished hoops. I guess there are worse issues to have in life.

Blake - You should make it easier on me and offer up a set of Forgelines for the CCW/KWC cost
