In the first pic there seems to be a bit of rubbing occuring near abouts where the side wall of the tire would be.
What is that?

I have a 1999 Camaro SS, just about the same as his. Looks like he may be doing auto-x and the rear wheels can rub on the well inside when extreme turns are taken and stuff of the sort. Then again he has suspension upgrades so I don`t know. Maybe they rubbed and he fixed the problem by getting the bar/rod.
I also know if you put the 17 inch rims with the 315/40/17 tires on, it will rub the inside of the well and you need to remove a peice from inside the well.

The rust on the rotors can be cleaned off with a 0-0 (zero) steel wool pad. I use that to go over varnish or urethane on wood products to smooth out the surface. I started to clean the rotors as well now using a circular motion. Works great.

So sweet, a 97 SS like I`ve said before my favorite. All must bow to the low end power of the LT1.
Makes me really miss my 95 Formula Convertible..

Well that could be from many things....... I may be from my "Spirited driving" Or also from wheel hope from "hard takoffs"
I has looked about the same the whole time I have had the car, same on both sides......:)
Is the Griots undercarriage spray a cleaner or more of a dressing?
Ive been thinking about purchasing some but not sure what it does.
