lol
Maybe Penske person will think twice before trying to sneak a batting practice fastball by the Ruppster, who also happens to be a professional writer...

Those are works of art. Too bad the Camaro doesn't have a lift kit, so we could enjoy looking at them once mounted.

Yea, it is a shame to hide them under the car.. clear fenders maybe? Maybe Scotty can whip us up some transparent aluminum fenders...

Install is done over at Global West Suspension.. We did need to make some changes to the rears for fitment, but then again that's why these are called prototypes..

Fronts went on easy and the struts all all the right brackets in all the right places.



Testing tomorrow.. We have a bone stock SS there for comparison.

We had to make one revision to the rears, but after that they went right in. Ended up mounting the remote canister to the lower control arm. If we upgrade to a double adjustable it will be easy to get to the knob this way.
