Body kit vs Lowering
Ok, I have a v6 camaro which I obviously want to make look better. I have the 18" lt wheels which i love! Now, should I lower the car or add a body kit to make it look more aggressive? I have a cgm BTW in case that matters. I wanted to do both but my car is a daily driver and I think both might make things almost impossible.

i have a ls as well and started by lowering it but ended up putting a kit on minus the front spoiler and looks and drives fine. either way you are going to drive with more precaution then before.

Yea the side skirts are fine when lowering. The front splitter is the thing you will always have to worry aboout. Make sure you get a polyurethane kit.

The best bang for the buck is H&R wide track hubcentric spacers. Perfectly safe and make the wheels flush with the outside. Wider is better. especially when used with lowering kit!

I say do both if you can. I lowered first. I pretty much did my handling first with Eibach Pro Kit and then their sways, then body kit. Oh yea, there were some engine mods somewhere between the suspension and body kit.

Personally I always do both.. You just have to pay attention when driving more than usual and you will be fine. If you mess up, well thats why they make paint and sand paper..

Lowering will probably be cheaper unless you get a good deal on factory GFX or something.
