Yeah that is about max drop for a Camaro, you will not maintain factory ride at all.

Agreed with all the above, no more than 1" at all for the 1LE. 1.5" is really pushing the limits of the struts and will have a pretty big impact on how the car reacts for sure.

1.5" is too low and will cause premature strut wear and axle problems. My vote would be for BMR 1" springs or the Hotchkis 1" springs. The Hotchkis springs are some of the best riding springs available.
Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions. Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |
