The Mad Scientist! Shagster ready to go to work:
Everyone gettin to work!

Working on the passenger front:

It was pretty late and I did'nt have my tripod so the last pic's were all hand held with a huge ISO. Anyways what that means is I didn't get any more then those two that were usable.
I am going to do a photo shoot before too long with this car!

He'll enjoy them. The springs are heavier than the stock Z06 ones. Even at soft settings on the shocks though it is not a smooth ride for a street car. Now for track work they are nice. Especially when mixed with a set of T1 sway bars. I like the setup. Corner weighted the car myself in my garage. Then put on scales and it is within 1% cross corner.
If you hear thumping in the rear after a day or so. You'll need to re-torque the nut on the top of the shock. Those poly bushings do compress a bit. Once I tightened them up they are fine.
