Default 2002 Camaro SS- Complete suspension upgrade with pics!

Hello Everyone,

We recently upgraded the entire suspension from front to back on our 2002 Camaro SS. We also installed Pacesetter headers and a TSP true dual system. Below is a link to a photo gallery... enjoy!

2002 Camaro SS Suspension Upgrade

Any questions please ask. Thanks!
Ryan

Very nice! The only thing that would make that under body of that car look better now is a shiny new 12 bolt

Just picked up a black strut/shock tower brace. Gonna get 2 point sfc's next, then a rear kit in 1 month. I just wonder if there would be a means of creating a greater weight savings using a different material other than chrome moly. To me, it seems like a significant price hike for a hardcore drag racer - only level of weight savings. I'm thinking of titanium and composite materials. Seems strange that imports are utilizing these materials and we're still dealing with mild steel.

With that exhaust system the tunnel brace that bolts there will not clear. The X in the true dual system crosses right there.

Hope that helps,
Ryan

thats good, i was just wondering. heres ya'll an idea, maybe y'all could make and design a connecting piece that will fit with an x pipe. like make it where it fits snug up agianst the x pipe to connect them while also resuring your exhuast is held up with more support
