1989 Camaro RS "Flashback" - Lateral-g Forums

I was finally able to get some stuff done to my Camaro this week. I had been wanting to get a lower stance while maintaining good ride quality and great handling. After taking the Camaro out tonight, I am extremely pleased with my end results after switching to Eibach coilsprings and getting rid of the factory stamped control arms in exchange for Spohn tubular control arms. I went out for a drive for about 60 miles tonight, and it was the best drive yet since I started on my Camaro about 5 yrs ago! I felt like I was driving a practically new car, handled great and the steering was tight, especially in the curves.

(I really need to do some detailing underneath from the firewall forward, most of the underneath from the firewall back, I have redone and cleaned up.)

I wasn't able to get some pictures done with the new stance other than in the garage. Hopefully, I can get some tomorrow or this week sometime.

X2....nice car. And nice improvements too. Good suspension makes a huge difference.

3rd gen's can look so mean if done right. Looks cool sitting lower now. What wheels are you running they look really sweet filling up the wheel well.
I had one a few years back, was going to build it but had to much rust so had to part it out.
What are your plans for the rest of the build?

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything new with the Camaro, but here’s a couple of things. I recently installed a new headliner and new visors in addition to a new steering wheel from Detroit Speed Inc. My goal is to get the new black interior carpet installed soon. I’m changing the interior to black.

Last picture is from a car show where I placed 2nd in the 82-92 Camaro category last summer. I don’t do many car shows, but it’s great to have the third gens involved in GoodGuys now.

Looks great and I like the idea of switching the interior to black.

DSE Steering wheel looks great. Your car looks clean!

I got to see the DSE 3rd gen at Pleasanton Good Guys last month....

Thanks Dave. It's not a crazy mod, but it's moving in the right direction. I'm hoping to have the interior carpet done sooner than later. I didn't realize how nasty the old headliner was until I got it completely removed from the car.

The DSE-Z is a wicked 3rd Gen! I got to see it last year at Des Moines Good Guys. I think between Detroit Speed and Hawk's builds, they have definitely set the bar on 3rd Gens. Great to see!
