Since the camaro isnt selling i decided to move in a different direction with it and make it more of an all around vehicle, right now the ride quality is kinda crappy due to old shocks and springs (probably the reason why i hooked so well) and go towards a nice tight suspension.
So i decided to go with a kit
[http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-5297/?image=large](http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-5297/?image=large)
ive heard good things about the kit and decided to try it out, hell anythings better than what i have for a suspension anyways

then get the KYB AGX shocks. They are 8 setting adjustable, get some new springs, sway bars and tires and you will be good to go.
LCA’s and torque arms have nothing to do with handling.

im confused.
are you saying you bought KYB’s?? I have them on my car and love them. Wayyy better ride over the shitty stock ones.
your car isnt going to really handle it, until you put some lowering/performance springs on it. Jump on the suspension part of ls1tech and they have pics/drop numbers of every lowering spring out there…its stickied at the top of the forum.

do the hose mod to your stock rear springs. Those rear eibach’s will ride good for a few weeks, then one day after a few WOT passes you will walk out to find your rear end is sagging more then your front…and its like riding on a block of wood.

Ive been thinking of making my car handle better too. The last time I drove it I wasnt too thrilled with the way it took corners.
Unfortunately thats gotta wait a while until I can afford it.
Ive put some thought into a Cobra IRS swap.
