Lowered the rear and lightened the front

[Catnip]

Your wheels are way to skinny, I have 315's son. I think my fronts are wider than your rears at 275....

GTFO.
I miss my 275(f)315(r) ZR1s
I actually tried to get some, but no one wanted my last wheels in a trade. lol

Yummy. You have some sticky rears too (no pun, lulz).

PM me when you're selling them, I might have to get them.

skinnies look retarded, id ditch them.

Stance wise, welcome to camaros. Thats the way they are supposed to look. I like it id leave it. Id either get the factory optional lip kit, or bigger wheels.

The skinnies in such a front end heavy car is dangerous on the street. You have little to almost no contact patch. Bet it drives like ass in the rain. be careful.

Hell i had to drive my CRX in the rain today and on 205/50/15s it was scary. I cant imagine skinnys in a much much heavier front end car with only 2in of contact on the pavement.

Id ditch them anyway , to me guys that ride on skinnies project this "im a badass fast car" attitude . unless the car can tote the front wheels down the 1/4 or sounds like its running on 3 cylinders, its a little domestic ricer imo.

but hey if you like it...........

They drive 10x better in the rain than the 275/40R17s did. LOL. I guess they cut through water instead of glide over it (I actually had to slow down to about 35mph on I-75 with the last wheels because they were making me involuntarily change lanes in the rain... lol).

As far as traction wise on wet pavement, and not puddles, they're alright. I stay back in traffic, go the speed limit, and drive like I have skinnies and sense. It's worked out so far *knocks on wood*

Like I said, it dropped the weight down considerably and I love the look. I'm not too worried what people think about it, most hate just because it's a Camaro. I grew up around them, to each their own.

I still want your CRX, sir

your wheels are terribly dated. your car would have been hot shit when it was new if you had that wheel/tire combo. however, it is 2009, and your car is stuck in 1996

[Josh...]

function > form

And your driving a civic, how on earth can you talk about something old and played out?

[Jenson]

I totally need big n lils with my manual rack goodness. You can has my Zr1's with the red lip!!! 17's should raise you up enough to lower it more.

I dont see how its that low and not scraping everything. It looks like we have the same exaust and mine scrapes on the hwy right now. The rear of my car is lowered but the front isnt. My buddy had to run mufflers on the header in order to not scrape when his car was that low. IDK, maybe the LT1 header's are higher?

lol. You have a car that the body style started in 1996 (the only REAL difference being the front bumper and headlights), with what are those... Rota Subzeros? No, but really, I like your lip from 1999, your blue lug nuts from at least 4 years ago, and your swap that was done back in 1999. My favorite part is your carbon fiber hood, I didn't see that until this year, it must have just came out. I can't forget the "I <3 JDM" tag frame and "JDM" marker lights though.


My Z28 might be "stuck in 1996" with a little function, but your civic is stuck in 1999 AND you're on the JDM nutswinging bandwagon... who is worse?

Do you have longtubes? I only have shorties, but I do scrape on a lot!

New tires on the ZR1s? lol

mmmm that is an old picture (from about 3 yrs ago) the sidemarker are still on the car and so is the tag frame but that is about it. The hood is gone and so are the wheels (those things alone were worth as much as your car) However, my stuck in 1999 civic with a swap done in 1999 is faster than your POS f-body pile of parts from the GM-leftover-cavalier parts bin. Not to mention I can go around turns at more than 15mph and still 30+ mpg. So here it is 2009 and you have 10 years to catch up to my "1999" swap and you still look like a b-team reject.

on a side ZO6 wheels or ZR1 wheels would be a vast improvement over what you have now

What do you run in the 1/4?

Your wheels cost $5k?

I get 25mpg... tunes are nice. I make 3 times your torque and only 5 mpg less

Left over cavalier parts? That's like saying S2ks are left over parts from your piece of shit... they're totally different cars.

lol@u everybody knows GM has corporate (interior) parts several diff. models use. It has been one of there downfalls for quite sometime. there are very few parts that interchange between a civic and s2k w/o major modifications. Now I ran 13.0's (on drag radials) about 2.5 years ago and earlier in the thread it was stated that your car runs 13.3's. Your car probably does make three times the torque of mine, it should the motor is 3x's the displacement, and furthermore big-fuckin-whoop, go pull a trailer then. so you have 3x's the motor only 2x's the weight (being generous) and run .3 slower with sacrificed drivability. and just to make this post on topic if you are so concerned with form over function why are you running cooper fuckin cobras on your "drag setup" wheels?

lol. Sorry, didn't know my black SS leather interior was from a cavalier, I missed that memo.

I ran 13.3 spinning and not even running it out all the way, on radials 13.0 would be easy... I don't even have a motor swap. Shit, it's barely modded...LOL

And if you think it's 2x your car's weight (generously...LOL), you're SORELY mistaken. Unless your car weighs around 1550 pounds

[smote]

you idiot, the "2x's the weight" statement was generous in your favor. goddamn I'm done with you, you aren't even smart enough to provide a good arguement.

lol. 2x your weight in any way is dumb as fuck. What do you think it weighs?

[Jenson]

Yup, Longtubes and TSP TD's. The driver side is so low...I think alot of it has to do with the design of their duals is more for hooker/jet hot style but Im running QTP's. I would have to agree that my interior (2001) is from a 1995 Cavalier, but the seating position and seats are so comfy for cruising.

I have new tyres on the back (315 sumy HT's) and decent tread (65% left) on the front. But wait, you dont have radials on the rear?!? I have zero traction with the 315's right now, I assumed you had some radials on there son.

Yea, the longtubes and true duals (if I read that right) are killing your ground clearance. My buddy has hooker longtubes with custom true duals and he has the same problems.

I have just regular tires all around. For extra I have some ET streets though I really don't know if I'd even get rid of the wheels, lol, I do want/need to sell the ET streets... if you know anyone that might be interested.

[Jenson]

Yea, but they make such great power and sound together...next year I'll have to go to boom tubes to clear the TA unless I can come up with enough cash for a MWC Fab9. Then I'll get my suspension right on big n lil's.

There's no way I'd trade my setup for yours unless you had some radials on the back though. I'd have to do alot of grinding to make them fit + I'd be downgrading substantially in the tyre department. Right now I drive it everyday, 80 miles on the hwy, so ET streets would be used up in a week or so lol. Guess I just need to pick up some 315 radials for now.

For you and your issue, why not get some 10 spokes. They are cheap 17's and the best looking stock wheel for a 4th gen IMO. I bought my last set with brand new tyres for $400.

Your car setup, with the mods, would be SICK all around.

Totally understandable
To be honest, if I were you, I'd just get some stock 16" wheels and put slicks on them. Keep the streetability of your ZR1's, go to the track, and put on the slicks. No grinding, no going through tires from commuting, etc. Thacker said his car on 315 radials NEVER hooked.

Oh, I love my wheels and setup. I have 6 stock wheels (2 from an LS1 car and 4 from my car stock) when I want to take the "drag wheels" off. I've just always loved the staggered 17x9/11 ZR1s as well.

[swollix]

Damn Honda owners.... Evan why you hating on your old crowd, lol?

[Jenson]

Prolly true, I had 315 BFG radials that hooked about as good as these sumy's. I was thinking some MT's would do it though. I just sold my 16's, figured they might hook a bit to much for the 10 bolt.

[.:Stirfry:.]

so when we runnin evan

LOL. He started it. When I had a Civic, I never said someone had an outdated car... I mean, I knew I was in the most used and abused, commonly modded (good and bad) POS out there

Something to think about. I'd hate to waste money on 315 radials that don't help. Know what I mean.
