Camaro SS build

[Skraight.]

Me too, I'm pretty stoked as the with all of my others cars I always went static thinking "Why spend an extra grand on suspension just to get an extra inch or so lower" until I rode in a friends air ride r32.

But this should hopefully all be installed over spring break week and take out the old 35mm camera for some pictures.

oh what ! in for this . gonna be so sick on v2

[keeton]

Niiiiice!

[doug_e30]

cant wait to see it laid out bro!

[Skraight.]

Now I'm debating on if I want to do the white faces or a metallic gun-metal or something else. Any suggestions?

I know for sure I'm not doing polished because then it will look like every other camaro sitting high with 1 piece drag wheels.

Just found this thread. And I like what I see.
I feel like polished faces would look awesome. I mean, considering you would be aired out and either tucking wheel or laying your fenders on the lip I think they would look awesome polished! It wouldn't look like a typical muscle car!

[Skraight.]

Yeah I keep thinking about doing the polished as that's what everyone recommends I just can't make up my mind.

And small update the V2 management pack shipped today.

Update for the day:

This arrived and all of the other suspension goodness

Thanks to BagRiders

hey those boxes look familiar. Word of advice. Check your v2 manifold part number If you locate sw # 3215 send it back for sw 3307. before installing it. Gen 2 manifold and controller was defective. Had to send back the manifold and controller from my brothers ride. for the updated sw #3307 manifold. I thought I had my wiring incorrect at first but after double, triple, quadruple checking and finding nothing wrong with it. I turned to the intraweb forums. I stumbled upon a 25 page long thread on VWvortex explaining the very problems we were having to a T. as well as a buddy of mine who had purchased a v2 kit for his car was having the same issues his manifold also bare the same sw #3215 Both have since been replaced by jeff @ airlift free of charge. Big thanks to those guys for great customer service.

You scared me for a second! I checked and mine is 3307. That would have really thrown a wrench in my plans as next week I'm installing all of this.

Yeah it wouldn't have been that bad. Because the defective unit was still able to function in manual mode. And air lift doesnt make you send back the bad unit until after you received the new one they only hold $20 on your credit card which is fully refunded once they receive the defective unit in return. they have great customer service

Hey sorry to threadhijack but is the rear springs setup like they can "just be cut" or are they tapered or smth?

[Skraight.]

Yeah you can cut them, they are tapered on one side though so you have to cut the non tapered side.

Also if you do this it will give you another 1/2" to 3/4" drop:

Also a sidenote FUCK UPS

They left all of my suspension parts out in the sleet/snow. I know this is common but I live in a college campus apartment building and wouldn't be surprised if someone saw all these boxes and took them.
