Awesome photo Stories!!! Thanks for sharing them all. Really like the camber plates. Don't even know exactly why. It'* kinda like tasting a new flavor and wanting more. I wished I had gone that route when I slammed my GXP w/Hydraulics.

Crap, I forgot aboot that album!!
Heres the GF'* DD and our Family car. I drive it as much as possible unless she needs it. its a 06 with the LZE, 3" CAI, tuned by me via HP Tuners. 29mpg @80mph baby!!!
She did a good job of making the interior look like poo. Light beige doesnt take much to destroy.
You should hear this engine scream at 6300rpm!!

I love those camber/caster plates, but the design of them is more race. They are noisy and limit my travel due to the spring top hat that rests against the bearing holder. Takes up 1.25" of travel.
Im working on another design where the mount supports the spring directly instead of the bearing. Should reduce noise and be more street friendly and have less noise.
Those mounts were designed by me. I had a guy with O.E.M make them, although he claims they are 100% his design. Funny thing, 95% of the mount design he made is identical to the design I sent him. Oh well, he did sell me those mounts for $120 less. Im not gonna argue over something like that, nobody is really buying them so he isnt making a profit off my hard work,

I never paid attention, even though I work on tons of these Impalas, but do the console shift ones have no cupholders???
Speaking of cupholders, my 95 CS has a Gen 2 Grand Prix center console. Much wider to rest my arm and it has the flip out cupholders that are big enough to work nice! The 95 CS had sorry excuses for cupholders. I gotta hold my Dr. Pepper or cans of Full-Throttle somehow!
