Default Need some help, guys.....................

Hello Fellas,

Just started modding out my C5 Vert MN6.

Borla Stingers where my starting point. Nittos replaced the Runcraps.

Bought a Vararam, but don't want to attach it to the stock air bridge.

What is the best airbridge to complement the Vararam, keep in mind that it is a 2000. I just spent some bucks on the Vararam and don't want to spend $300 or $400 for an airbridge.......

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite honestly the value of an aftermarket airbridge per $ is very low. Go for a silicone connectoer and save the $400 towards a set of LT headers. I still run the stock airbridge (looks pretty and has logo!!!) lol

Stock airbridge is fine. $400 = crazy. Frankly, anything more than $20-50 would be crazy that that little plastic thingie.

BTW, did you replace only the rear run-flats with Nittos? How do you like them? How do they handle? What size did you get?

Replaced both of them w/ stock sizes....

245's 17" in front and 285's 18" in rear.....they are great.....stickier, handles better w/ a softer ride.....(unfortunately i have the base suspension)

I think i am gonna get some new rims because i want some more pizazz . I am probably going to get 275's in front and possibly the same in the rear so i can rotate them like i did my LT-1. We'll see.....

I replaced my stock goodyears on my 94 LT-1 w/ 275's all the way around and i really like the way the BFG KDW's handled.....
