I just got a set of Nexen 3000's (275/40-zr17) that came with my new rims. Yes this is an economy performance tire but I am really suprised how well they hook up. I cant spin on dry ground like I used to and they get good wet weather traction as well. Time will tell if they are worth the money when I see how many miles my $165 per copy gets me.

The 3000s aren't bad, just don't get the 5000s! I had those a long time ago and they didn't even last 6 months! I previously had the Kuhmo ASXs and they lasted about a year, now I have the Raptors and they lasted over a year on my previous car I had so we'll see how it goes on a Camaro lol!

Default Its about handling the monster.

I agree with u, its monster and some times its very hard to control it.
to be honest guys i have Z28 and its some times very hard to stop it and I blame that I idont have ASR and my rear brakes are drums not disks
and beside my rims are 18' i gues it make the process of slowing the car much complicated.
thx.

i think somebody changed your rearend. z28 should have disk brakes. that may be your stoping issue. the abs thinks they are disk brakes.

if you have a drum brakes on a 93 up then you have a v6 rear and if thats the case then most likely its an open rear to.

:-( OMG
so its not original! and y the hack they changed it to Drums!!!!!!!!
and how the ABS is working? dose it work on Drums? y the ABS inop light is not on?
it was on i changed the front left flange and it turned off automatically!
and when i push the brakes hard the abs i can fell it working but slow like one bit every half second, we have Korean car that makes more than 6 per seconds u can fell the car is vibrating so quick and the abs light goes on!
in my Camaro i see only "Low track" light when i fell the ABS is working! dose the abs light supposed to turned on?

after looking other than the drums and disks, i dont see any difference in the disk and drum brake system. master cylinder and abs controller is the same part number. if your getting weird brake peddle action your abs controller may be acting up. when mine went in my truck it did some crazy stuff. pulsing on and off and the peddle would go almost to the floor sometimes. anyways if the previous owner busted it and could not find the z28 rearend then they may have used whatever they could find.
