That's a nice looking part. Fresh clean parts are always fun getting on there.

Thanks guys! I was able to get the alignment done today, but then some bad weather moved in and I wasn't able to actually get out and drive other than to/from the alignment shop. I can say that in just that short drive, the car felt incredible compared to before and I can't wait to go do some driving. I'm hoping to get it out tomorrow night if this weather clears up.

Gaetano, Some autocrossing/track time is what I'm shooting for hopefully here in the near future.
Things are a little crazy right now though, we are in the process of selling our house and trying to relocate back to the midwest after being in Nashville for 12 years.

I was just curious Corey. If it is your daily driver keep it that way. I dont recommend anybody thrash on their daily drivers.

Hope all goes well with the move

I'm with ya man, my Camaro is definitely not a daily driver. Sometimes I think I don't drive it as much as I'd like too. I mentioned to my wife few months back about doing some autocrossing and I think she was thinking you put alot of work into the car. I am definitely wanting to get on a course and really push the car. Goodguys-Nashville actually let any year into the show on the last day of the show this year, but we had family in town, so I couldn't get out there on that Sunday. It's really itchin at me now every time I see you guys posting about track days.
Thanks for the well wishes, we are just trying to get closer to family and our son is a year away from starting kindergarten. But hey, if you want a nice two-story, 2-car garage house in Nashville, let me know.

I took the Camaro out tonight and I am completely STOKED with the results of installing the J & M camber/caster plates! I noticed that it now handles better and the steering response is night and day difference. I also noticed that the braking is a lot more firmer. Before installing the new pieces, there was a little bit of play or almost loose feel especially at higher speeds...that is no longer there. I think I may have finally completed the suspension puzzle...at least for now.
I was having so much fun in the Camaro tonight, I wasn't ready to come back to the house.

Hey dude that's great to read. Glad you had one of those nights just out driving the car and loving every minute of it.

Hitting the curvy roads were great. After things get settled down this year, hopefully I can hit some autocross events in due time. It's time to add some horsepower now.
