Well done! I hadn't considered the weight difference. On the Camaro I offset some of the weight by replacing the metal Z28 hood with a cf hood.

Today was a good "car related" day.
I crawled under the ol' girl and lowered the back on the stock bolts, down to two threads. I didn't remove any bushings. We'll see how this turns out over then next week or two. I may go lower, but the goal is only to have it 1" higher than the front.
I also joined the !BSM crew; at least on the passenger side. WOW this was a pain in the ***. The worst part is that the person who originally ordered the car PAID EXTRA to have the damned things installed! Driver's side will have to wait until tomorrow. I've got to get dressed to go over to an LSU/alabama party. Go LSU!
It's like it was never there!
