Hrtbeat1 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 It helps it by lowering the trucks center of gravity, but you will still have body roll. Best way to fix that is to get energy suspension endlinks & bushings for the front sway bar & add a rear swaybar to the back. It will hug the curves like a sports car. Best money that could be spent for suspension handling!!! That would be nice. I was able to run down a Miata 'vert that had about a minute head start on me. LOL I caught him and could see the nervous look thru his rear view. I think the Goodyear LS2's howling had a lot to do with it. He finally pulled over and let me go, after I backed off then caught him a couple of times. Just looking for a little improvement, I know the SS will never handle like my Z51 Vette, but its still fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yttaf Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 yeah it'll never handle like a vette, but it won't handle like a truck anymore either... I agree these trucks are fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Here is a pic with the factory rim on the front and aftermarket on the back. Which looks better? I like the factory better in my opinion, and I can't afford to keep both sets, and I would hate to get rid of the factory. Factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Yes I installed the parts myself. I knew what to order from a quick search in the suspension section. We get atleast 1 question a day about what to use for lowering. I have made several posts about chat parts you can use & even the part numbers. After searching if you are having trouble finding which parts to use just send me a pm & i'll give you the part numbers.It helps it by lowering the trucks center of gravity, but you will still have body roll.

I have not noticed much difference since I put them one. Now when I get around to my rear sway bar then I'm sure i'll tell the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
