  • Hello, NOOB!

    Hello everyone, Just got a couple questions. I don't own a Camaro, but my GF does, I have to settle for a Red 70 Chevelle with a built 400 and a 1978 Ford (yes, the F word!) Fairmont that's getting a DOHC 4.6 Cobra motor within a month, but at least SHE owns a Camaro, right! haha anyway, here's what I got.

    Her car is an 01 V6, automatic, Monsoon, no power anything, no cruise, and she got it used a few years back, no owners manual. I was putting brakes in it last night, it's got the 12" Twin Piston PBRs, I'm assuming they all do? Anyway, we picked up Ceramic pads for it, since that's what we were told it had stock, and I noticed it has de Carbon shocks in it, and the front sway bar looks awfully big for a V6, I did a little reading, and I can't quite figure out what her car has exactly. I see they have some sort of handling package, but this car seems odd to me, Stripper Camaro, no power windows or anything, but it's got Monsoon? And I don't think it has a limited slip, because when I had it on the jackstands last night, the tires rotated opposite directions when I spun one of them...

    So anyway, I will go post in the general area, but I thought I'd ask about the suspension stuff here, if it's stock, got some package on it, she'd just like to know. By the way, yeah, I've got a car chick! :banana: anyway, thanks for the help, Justin

    First off welcome! :wavey: Is your girl signed up for the boards too?

    Check out our Tech Database it should be able to handle your questions. Find the RPO code stick to find out exactley what her car came with. It will be on the door jam or inside the glove box depending on the year of the car.

      no, she's not on here yet, But I'll talk to her tonight.... and Thanks!

      so, from what I gather, they all came with the de Carbon gas shocks, and pretty beefy sway bars, 12" brakes, and silver split spoke wheels then...Single exhaust, etc. It just seemed odd that it has the Monsoon stereo as it's only option! lol anyway, thanks, Justin

        the Y87 Perf Package was just 4-wheel discs, LSD, 3.42s, and Z28 sport steering...I dont think there were any other suspension packages available

          I guess I'm not up to par on my Camaro stuff. :) So, all 98 and ups have 12" front and 11" rear brakes. I'm pretty sure her's doesn't have LSD, because the wheels spin in different directions when it was on jackstands last night, and most vehicles with posi will spin both the same direction. And it seems to steer pretty quick as is, but I very seldom drive it, usually just when I have to do something on it. Thanks! Justin
