Shags and I spent last night in the MESV mancave(AKA shags garage with lift :D) putting Z06 springs, sway bars, and billstein shocks that I got from a friend of mine after I helped him do his coilovers.
We got started about 7:30 and he worked with me until midnight getting it done.
It's about 80 miles or so back to my house. I took it easy for about 20 miles to let everything settle, then gave her a pretty good romp around the Capitol Beltway. Hit a couple 50mph turns at triple digits when I left some ricer in a Prelude who was throwin revs, and bein an azzhat. :loser:
Sneaks handled great. Turns much flatter, grips the road better, and is much tighter.
Went and had a Z06 spec alignment done a little bit ago. On the way home, I took it around some nice twisties. Man, turn in is much sharper, and the nose points right where you stick the wheel.
Short of doing a full coilover upgrade, this is the best mod you can do to make your coupe handle better!
:burnout: :friday:

(A HUGE thank you to Shagster. Without his help, knowledge, garage, lift, and just plain love of cars and helping friends, the MESV crew wouldn't have the rides we do. Thanks Mr. Wiz! :friday: )
