Re: Weird suspension sounds.

Any chance there's something in your tire? Like, rolling around inside the tire?

Re: Brake Speculation

Just in case anyone was still wondering, the factory wheels do fir over first gen CTS-V brakes. I just switched back to my factory wheels for winter and they fit, no problems. They are definitely tight on the rear but they do fit. As a side note, this means that Camaro SS and SS sedan owners might b...

Re: Caprice 9C1/SS compatability

The next question is, is there a place for a clutch master? I remember looking (briefly) and not seeing a hole. There may be one on the other side, which doesn't really help.

Re: Brake Speculation

I used the Russell kit because, well, why not? They are hoses for a G8 and they look exactly the same as the factory ones I pulled off. I don't see why the originals wouldn't work. The banjo bolts from the original calipers will not work and there is a shorter version for the rears, but as I said I ...

Fog Lamps

So I've been looking all over the forum thinking there should be a thread on fog lamps, and I can't seem to find one anywhere! Am I just missing it? I tried searching but apparently "fog lamps" is not a good enough search term. I know several cars have the lamps on them, so what do they co...

Re: Speakers - Upgrades?

There are a few screws you remove and then you pull. One of the simpler panels I have ever removed.
