B&G Lowering Springs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

derin11 · 09-09-2009, 07:29 PM

For about 3 months now B&G suspension has been using my car as a test car for their lowering kit for the v6, My question is,

If they lower it 1.5 in the front and 1.8 in the back, is it going to make my car look stupid?, Ruin the clean look???

thanks

According to Holden engineers, the "optimal lowered ride height" as a compromise of "look" and "real world suspension travel" is 15mm, or 6/10ths of an inch... Some folks are going to be riding on the bumpstops...

no it will look good and give it a nice level look

errrrr.. about 4 weeks ago you posted that you sold your V6 camaro for $27k and bought a 1SS and told people you would post pictures

btw...you got people going in your other thread about returning your camaro, etc. etc.

not if the bumpstops are cut. it wont look bad. i know some cars it can make look kind of funny and make the front sit higher than the rear...hopefully that wont be the case...but in any instance bg is an awesome spring company.

We found when using the factory struts a drop of an 1.25" was optimal. If you go to our Sport Strut which will be shorter you can go to a 1.5"-2" drop and have outstanding performance.

Lowering the rear more and removing the factory rake will increase the already prominent understeer issues. A good set of balanced sway bars would cure this issue however..

Kind regards,
