Less than a 1" drop?
 
What are the options (if any) for a less than 1" drop?
The transition between my driveway/road and work driveway/road is steep, and I think a 1" drop might be too much.

The wheel gap is more noticeable with aftermarket wheels (I haven't purchased yet), so I think if I do a less than 1" I'll be ok.

Any suggestions?

Why even bother.......

Pedders coil-overs.

Ya coilovers would be your only choice I think. You can adjust the ride hight to whatever you want.

You could do ZL1 springs. I know on a V6 they give you less than an inch

I figured Coil Overs would be the answer, but I thought someone made a spacer for lowering springs?

How steep is your driveway/road? My V6 is my DD and when I got a 1.25 drop, I was pretty concerned about clearance issues, but I haven't had any problems at all, whether it be my driveway, curbs, speed bumps....etc. I think you may have more clearance than you think with a 1" drop. But if 1" drop is for sure out of the question, I think ZL1 springs may give you a slightly smaller drop, other than that coil overs will probably be the best bet

On my 1LE the ZL1 rear spring drop the rear of the car a 1/2 inch . It even out the ride high of the car and that what i wanted .

We do offer our BMR 1" lowering springs (SP019) which as far as I know is the lowering springs available with a 1" drop. Everything else is generally 1.25" or more. If you think our 1" lowering springs are going to be too low than I think coil-overs will be your best answer.

You'd be pretty surprised about some of the hills I've went down. All about the angle you take the turn at the bottom. 1.25 drop here.

JDP Sales 07-16-2013 11:54 AM

I'd say shoot for the ZL1 springs or bite the bullet and get some coilovers. 1" is pretty much the norm for aftermarket springs, but IMO 1" is perfect.

Best regards,
