Werks LSx conversion updates

	werks Supporting Tuner Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Midwest	I have started this thread for any forum members or guests to provide information and updates or ask us questions regarding our LSx Solstice conversions. We will be releasing "official" pricing and more detailed information in the upcoming weeks. Here are a couple pics of our current development car. Some of our first steps have included multiple days of data logging on our dyno, driving impressions and weight & height measurements. Today we fit a set of 19"x10" wheels we had spec'd out and good lord they looked mean! Stay tuned here for updates! __________________ Dave Gilbert Midwest Solstice/Sky Headquarters! info@performanceautowerks.com www.performanceautowerks.com www.werksracing.net 815-439-4547

We also fit a set of 19x8 and a staggered set of 19x8 and 19x10. The staggered set looked cool but the 19x10s all around was awesome! I will post up those pics tomorrow.

Is your company is planning to release the mounting hardware/wiring in a kit for those that already have LSx's sitting in their garage? __________________ Send me a private message to rate/view your Pontiac Dealer on the USA Map.

I think they're around 23lbs for the polished ones. __________________ I never met a Solstice I wouldn't crawl under.
