If I drop 1 inch will this be a problem? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I want to drop my car about 1 inch, I have Razzi GFX on the front with streetscene sideskirts and my rims are 19.8 stock. My question is will my tires/rims be large enough with the GFX so I dont have a problem with the GFX hitting speed bumps and stuff like that or would I have to go with larger tires/rims to bring the car up a little before I drop it? Im getting new rims anyway but I want to keep them the same size if I can. Hope you understand what im asking.

I think a lot of this is going to depend on the actual speed bumps etc. in your area since there isn't a well known height that everyone encounters. Maybe someone on here has a similar set up that can help out?

I would pose this question in the styling forum, or search others that have the Razzi GFX and see what they think!

You'll be fine.. I have h&r springs (1.4 drop) and have 20s.. But I only have a stillen front lip..if your going to drop it 1 inch you'll be fine.. Don't know if your gfx decreases ground clearance itself but if it did, it wouldn't be much, I've seen them on some of the members and doesnt look like it decreases clearance.. Only thing with me is that some steep exits or driveways , I'll scrape the bottom of my front lip a little.. And of I take speed bumps a little aggressive, it'll give my chasis.. But no biggie, it's nothing that will destroy anything and it only happens once in a blue moon.. Hope this helps
