Lowering springs and razzi kit

Has anyone lowered there car more then 1" on lowering springs with the razzi kit. Was thinking of going h&r route which lowers 1.5" all around. If you do howhigh is the kit off the ground.. How easy is it to bottom ou on driveways and speed bumps...

It's going to be low but maybe just corvette low. I've seen it before and though it's low low it's not on the ground low.....but I would say even speed bumps will be a worry and any steep driveway incline will be scary. I'm going to eventually do the razzi with coil overs so I can make sure I have plenty of options and I can raise it if I find the hight problematic.

Just had a car in with the Pfadt 1.25" lowering springs.. Only thing we noticed was the car didn't look like it was four wheeling anymore

The sides are fine it's the Front and back you have to watch. The front is just at the height of a parking stop and curb, Very easy to pull to far up and hit it (ask the wife). And the rear will hit pulling out of a sloped driveway or a big pot hole you cant avoid in a parking lot, Drops the car down and it hits (ask the wife). And the front and back is the most expensive of the kit to replace. Bought the front and back twice now. Once i get a rear bumper I'm going a different route.

I have the Razzi and want to eventually lower. I plan to continue with 20" wheels, and I think I dare not go any lower than 1" with this setup.

I like Camaro Rally cars! Fortunately for us our customers do not!

it looks a little 'different' now, a few upgrades since that pic. Here is a recent shot, it has to be the Pfadt Springs/sways/trailing/control arms that makes it look at ride so sweeet
