Increasing Ride Height
So I have the opposite problem as everyone else. I need to raise the front end of my car by at least an inch if not two. I was originally going to get the KW Clubsport, but the highest setting for the front is still a 1 inch drop. Does anyone know of any coilovers or springs that would raise the ride height?

Don't know of any shocks/springs/coilovers that would accomplish what you need. But going to a 22" wheel would raise your entire car off the ground by 1 additional inch without increasing the fender-gap. A 24" wheel would get you two inches over stock (assuming you are running OEM 20" wheels).

Problem is I just bought and mounted new tires and wheels and then I started having ride height issues. Would prefer not to have to replace wheels and tires.

Not so sure about that . I think the OD of the 18" rim with tires on them equal the OD of the 20" rim with tire .

Bagging is the only option you have to raise your Camaro.

Or get the rubber donut style spacers but that requires taking them apart

Might try the spacers in the short term, but it looks like long term solution is air ride. Yay for spending money!!!
And I need to raise the front end because with the smaller, lighter tire/wheel setup my twin turbo skid plate is barely an inch off the ground. I bottomed out at 80 MPH on the freeway this weekend and the local drop has a similar crest/hump where I'll bottom out at much higher. |
