New stance, new brakes, and painted calipers

Finally got around to installing my KYBs and pro kit, as well as ls1 front brakes with orange calipers all around. It handles sooo much better, it's unreal.

I'm about to give up on getting a cheap pair of Bilsteins. How much did your KYB's cost and what part no.?

BTW, while I'm happy with my silver Z28, I always wanted a 30th Anny Z28. When it came time to buy one last year, people tried to talk me out of it saying I'd look goofy as an "old" man in a young man's car. Besides, people wanted too much for the good ones and some even wanted too much for the bad ones. Nice car.

Mine has basically been getting a slow but complete overhaul from the time I bought it. At least you have a z28

But I got my kyb's from Stranoparts.com and they were 409 before shipping. It cost me right at like 830 for the kyb's and pro kit shipped.
