Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
They dont make a offset that will work with a thirdgen 100%. You have to use adapters/spacers.

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
i think to get it to bolt up corectly or, as close as possible i think your settup is correct, i think im going to do 35mm up front and 25mm in back, cuz im going to do willwoods brake upgrade and that widens the front track a little, so it might work out better for my setup. cant wait to see the pics of your car after your put your wheels on

i think the brembo ss camaro brakes fit in a 18, you have to cut off the vibration weights off the pads though

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
i have the hotchkis springs and swaybars. and at the moment kyb shocks, but will upgrade to koni yellows or a set of qa1 . i still have play in the stearing wheel, i replaced the idler arm, ball joints and tie rods with the hotchkis front end rebuild kit and i still have some play, not as much buth there is still some there... i think its in the steering box, ill probably have to rebuild it or pic up one from the junk yard and rebuild and swap it in. yea i forgot, your right the new chevy is 5 on 5 , post some new pics of your car, ill be painting mine summit white, which is the gm color that is on the new camaro.

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
thats not a bad idea, but i dont think this car had play when it was new, so i dont think the joints are a problem, i love the sway bars, im still running a v6, havent did the lt1 swap yet, but im on cut hotchkis springs and the swaybars with there adjustable panhard bar. and i love it, handels great, i had a guy with a 911 carrera come up to me in a gas station not long ago asking about it. aparently he was just following me through topanga canyon wich is a long very twisty canyon and he said that there were moments were he was having a hard time catching me. realy nice guy, he said that one of his first cars was a third gen. but you know guy makes money and buys a porshe lol. but it was nice to see some one appretiate these cars and look beyond what is on the outside and appreciate whats underneath. ,

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
in my opinion it rides great, at ride high it sits just over the bump stops front and rear, and its not to bouncy and its not too soft, i love it, handles great, i cut a full coil out of the front and put in rubber isolaters to soak up vibration, and the sear i think i cut 2.5 coils. front fender lip sits at 25 inches and the rear is at 26.... cant wait till i get to do my taxes and get my xxr521 wheel, gona look soooo nice and handle even better then it does now. i just finished my door panels too, you would probably like them, i fiber glassed the lower portion and mounted some 6.5 inch 2 ways in it, wrapped in suede. still going to do the dash top in suede and the sides on the center console and the panels under the dash ..what have you done to your car so far?

TBI engines LO3/305 LO5350 AND 454 they all have different fuel injector sizes 454 being the biggest stock bore size for tbi unit for the 350 is 46mm and i bored out to 50mm and mines should flow around 700cfm as compared to 450 sumthing cfmof stock 350 tbi

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
oh ok got it, i was just wondering in what seance you meant, but i got it, most injector's are measured in lb. just understanding what you meant . i was thinking you had a tpi for some reason also.
i have a 305 tpi sitting in the garage that needs a rebuild so i might just run that, but id rather run a mpi lt1.. so what part of you dash did you carpet?

yea, i just got the carpet dash cover for now, im going to upholster it in black suede eventually, and the seats im getting are fixed back, they dont recline, really probably a better plan for me anyway plus were doing a cage so there is no point to reclining seats lol
