Should I lower my camaro
I have the lowering springs and everything needed to lower the car 1" in the back and 1.4" inches in the front. I just can't decide if I should lower my car. Please let me know if you think I should. Thanks for all the help lately.

No, look on the forum a lot of people with lowered cars have issues bottoming out.

I dont bottom out, but I personnally dont like 1.4" drop as pushing the border of proper shock action and decent ride. 1 to 1-1/4" is best

depends, if you do alot of bumpy roads than I would say no. It will def make the stance look good but nothings a free ride especially when you are messing with cars suspension geometry.

If you lower as I mentioned, the ride is very good due to the v6 shocks, but yes, will get more abrupt movements and worse ride on really bumpy roads. 90% of the time is fine.

i am not worried about bottoming out, or if the camaro will ride rough, because its not that big of a deal. the one thing that stops me from lowering my car is how much it cost to install.

I don't think it's for everyone. I know where I live here in Pa these roads are not very friendly to lowered cars.
