Corey, that is a wicked clean car. It looks just like my buddy's 91 RS he had while we were in college. 305, white paint and red interior. I really like the platform and shape. Nice to see a non-1st-gen Camaro around here.
Keep pluggin away.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the comments. I'm going to do some detailing to the underside this coming weekend...get that undercarriage cleaned up. When I found this car, it was sitting under a tree covered in sap...I had it repainted about a year after I had it. I also replaced all of the emblems and most of the rubber/trim moldings.
Like Dave said, I'll just keep pluggin' away and get more done as time goes on.
After seeing yours with new sportlines, I think mine has "sagged" over the years, I have had the Sportlines and Koni struts on my 91 since about 94 or 95 and it sets a little bit lower than yours now.

Thanks Jason. I took those pics literally the day after installing the new parts, so I'm guessing it will probably settle a little bit more after some miles are put on. I've got KYBs all around also, but would like switch to Koni sometime.
Did some detailing under the car today and built some ramps so that I could get the floor jack in from underneath. The springs have settled pretty good and the ride quality is excellent. (There is some wheel gap in picture because I had just let the car down.)
I've been up and back from the midwest twice in the last week; once in Iowa and last weekend in Chicago, so I haven't been able to get on here in a while. I drove the Camaro to Iowa couple weekends ago, put on around 1500 miles since doing the suspension upgrades and the thing drove and handled great! It was a pretty good drive to and from Iowa. I did go to the Fred Gibbs Car Show simply for the reason to hang out with my dad doing car stuff. I took the Camaro out tonight on some curvy roads and the freeway, and the thing is a blast to drive now, the steering is so much tighter that the difference is unreal.
I had a leaking power steering hose and I replaced it before leaving for the Iowa trip...now apparently the reservoir has a leak, not major, but still dripping after the car has been sitting over night after a drive. Can anybody recommend a steering pump/reservoir? Was thinking about something like Turn One?
Unfortunately, this isn't as exciting as putting a new motor in or something like that, but I installed new camber/caster plates today. I went with J & M adjustable camber/caster plates, which seem to be a great product based off of what I have read. It's another piece of the suspension puzzle for my Camaro. The ones I removed were factory...can't believe I didn't think about replacing them before now. I'm planning to get to the alignment shop in the next couple days and can't wait to get out and see how this thing will handle/steer now. I'm going to have to learn more about the ability to adjust these from just going under the hood.
Suspension upgrades are always my favorite. Trying to figure out what works best handling wise is always challenging.
When are we going to start hearing about some track experiences?
