There's something humble about the SS/NAs... can't quite put my finger on it.

Though its been argued its not worth the money on this car due to the strut towers being tied in with the firewall. And due to that a strut tower brace is just eye candy.

With that said I do at some point plan on buying that piece of eye candy

but on that note, why put subframe connectors on my nova. both subframes are bolted to the body?

DFZ24, what wax do you use? Like holy crap your car is shiny. Very nice.

Does anyone know if the bottom lip on the coupes back bumper will fit on a sedan bumper?

Your novas might be bolted together but they arent fully attatched the whole way and theres still room to improve things on your nova. However with that said similar style connectors do help the cobalt.

^ i didn't say they weren't beneficial to the nova i know they are. the strut towers are welded to the firewall on the rear plane, but they are not connected in a second area, which will allow flex.

Tires are stock. in those pics except the Mount Washington one, i have 225/45 Proxies on there now

^ believe so. the only one i'm not sure of is the one on the grass at the car show.

the Mt. Washington one is the most recent full car shot, sometimes i think it should sit lower, but the ride would only be compromised more

sportlines will definitely give you a major drop. ride quality is not as good. my rear end, after having them for 2 years, the coils are completely flat...there is no gap between them
