Hello Today was a good day.

I got my iForged PS Classics in on Thursday. I had the Nitto INVO tires mounted on Friday.

Today we installed new Eibach lowering springs, Baer Rotors, Stainless lines, EBC pads.

Here are some pics of the day.

I plan on having Andy Wheeler, "FLATOUT" will take some professional shots of my GTS when the weather clears.

The car still has to settle, but I'm pleased with the overall look.

Enjoy:2tu:

HAHA the secret is when you get in there to do all of these installs you scrub everything down real good before everything goes back together.

It's something we have always done during installs, and it really helps to keep things looking nice under there!

Congrats John! Car looks awesome! Can't wait to finish my spring install this morning!

I see EBC Green brake pads? I used those when I upgraded to Roe Racing's 14" lighweight front brake kit. Nearly instant black dust covering wheels so I changed to Reds (Ceramic) right away. Don't wipe the brake dust as it'll scratch your clear coat.

Looks great! I chose to buy a Gen 2 and add everything that caused the Gen 3s to be better becuase of the awesome looks of the Gen 2.

I'm wondering if any of the vette guys want to switch camps and quit working on GMs?

Now that you've allowed them to touch your Viper they all want to work on it all the time - don't they?

When I was at M2 week before last Larry was 'less happy' because he needed to work on a Mercedes instead of a Viper.

I thought so, you've created monsters! Everybody wants a Viper although it's not often vette guys (or gals).

The vette engineers put the trans on the rear differential and did a lot of other stuff pretty weird so I thought the vette guys would appreciate a car where things are where they're supposed to be. Gotta love it.

I like my wheels the best (Forgeline VR1s), although your's are great. The Vr1s are billet one piece wheels and weight nearly nothing. Unfortunately, they're no longer made so yours are probably the wheels I'd buy now. Eibachs onn mine too.
