RS Build

[Auto35069]

I just recently sold my motorcycle and decided to put a little into my RS. So far the car has a ZZP intake and 20mm adaptech spacers.

I have on order right now are ZZP race down pipe, ZZP mid pipe, Mtech short shifter, Trifecta elite tune, Eibach lowering springs and upgraded brakes. The brakes are similar to the ZZP big brake kit with a difference in calipers, I went with C5 Corvette Z06 calipers instead of the F-body Camaro with drilled and slotted rotors. I also slapped on 225/50R17 to replace the 205's. I'm hoping that with the springs and wider tires that they don't rub, they look pretty close with stock springs now! But anyway, I'll post pics once each part is on with before and after as well. I'm curious to how much of a difference these parts will make. I should be receiving the parts within the next few days. Keep on the look out!

The car will be a different beast after these parts. I would add a rear sway bar from bnr and forget the Trifecta tune for a bnr tune. But other than that you are on the way to a very fun car

Ok, so here are some of the pics of the parts installed. Man, this car WOKE UP!. What a difference there is. The exhaust sounds just the way I wanted, quiet with nothing but turbo noise. Suspension is tight and handles well, along with the brakes. I'm super happy the way it turned out. I have a ZZP rear sway bar on the way too, so that will complete it. Sorry she is dirty in pictures, gonna get a nice bath soon.

It was beyond what I expected. That little 1.4L screams now. lol

May want to add our lower mount and/or upper engine mount to take all the horrible slop out of the factory setup.

Funny you say that, It's been drizzling here the past couple days. It does get some nasty wheel hop here and there.

I would recommend both mounts, what a difference...either TT or BNR.
What all had to be done to fit the brakes? I saw these a while back and thought about trying this myself but never looked much further into it.

Nothing really, the Caliper brackets are from a 98-02 F-body and they bolt right up. You can go with either same year Camaro calipers or Corvette calipers and the rotors are off a 14 Buick Encore (How do they find this out???). There is a thread written up on everything that's needed and what other guys found out. It's a really good upgrade.
