hey man, looks awesome. I always fancied trying to get ahold on my dads 3rd gen camaro he had when I was a kid and doing up (C575 UEW..............just incase :lol: ). Just wanted to ask what u did to the arches to get the rims to sit inside? I got a 4th gen with 20's on the back and i want to lower it enough so they tuck inside but they stick out ever so slightly at the mo so am trying to find the best solution. Narrowing the axle sounds extreme but had a look to see if there were any flared arches available that would fit straight on and paint up ok. Any suggestions?

If you fit a 3rd gen rear axle that will be narrower, I'm sure there are some arches somewhere in the states that would fit to tuck the wheels under. As mine is a convertible I had to mini tub the rear arches which we made ourselves to gain the extra 1" needed to drive the car on full drop. Originally the car sat on the tyre and was not low enough for me I also used smaller bumpstops to get it lower, As for the front I had to chop and channel the inner wings.

cheers buddy! I heard somewhere else about using a 3rd gen axle (I guess thats been done before) but unsure as to how far the other way it would go i.e. towards the inner wheel arch as I hadn't planned on tubbing it. Also, as I was planning on just using lowering springs (eibach i suppose) do you know if anyone has ever cut an extra coil off if they aint low enough? There are a few other bits i wanna do with it.

Just sits too damn high!!!!!!!!!!!
