Default Installed new Sways and shocks


Well, finally got around to having the Z06 sways and 04 Z06 shocks installed along with the TI exhaust. What a difference in handling!!!!!! Rides much firmer which is what I wanted. The Ti exhaust isn't really much louder but its more throaty. Can't wait to see what it sounds like with Long tubes and High flows. But the suspension upgrade drove home the point even further......"the run craps have to go". So non run-flats will be replacing these tires very shortly. :chevy

I also have the 2004 Z06 suspension under my 2000 FRC now with Michelin Pilot Sports and I have also noticed the firmer/harsher ride, but I LIKE IT.
