Jeff did a hell of a job on my Camaro and I would highly recomend him for any work. Also, a thanks to Frank at Prodigy for the deal on my Forgelines.

Beautiful! I'd really like to know the wheel and tire size as well.

Sorry for the slow response. I was off last week and have been playing catch up at work. Wheels are Forgeline VR3P 18x10 with 6.125 backspace on the front. 18x12 with 6.125 backspace on rear. Call Frank at Prodigy for a killer deal. Tires are Michelin Pilots 275/35/18 front, 335/30/18 rear. The booster/ master cylinder assembly is from DSE.

Sixtnine,

Did you have to modify your headers at all to fit the DSE clip? I'm trying to figure out header options on my project with DSE clip.

Thanks.

The headers are Hooker Super Comp #2131, 1 3/4" full length. We didn't have to make any modifications. There is about 1/2" clearance between the steering shaft and tubes using the stock 69' column.

The Hooker 1 7/8" will definetely need some reworking to make them fit.

Thanks!

One Sixtynine if dont mind.. I had no plans for goind aftermarket sub but now -Thanks to Steve - i think i will. Can you describe your cars ride ,steering and handling ? Btw did you have QL or leafs at back??

Before this winter transformation I had a stock subframe with DSE uppers, lower bushings, a late model IROC Z steering box and Hotchkis swaybar. Stock multi-leaf 12 bolt setup in rear with KYB gas shocks. The ride I felt, was great, not harsh at all. Now, with the subframe, mini-tub, and larger wheel/tire combo I would have to honestly say the car probably rides smoother than before. The steering is extremely quick. It is insane how well the car handles now. If you get a chance ride in a Camaro that has an aftermarket frame. If you like to corner you will definately be hooked.
