6. What "playing" are you planning on doing?
7. How much "sportyness do you want

Measuring from the lower wheel lip, thru center, to the top of the wheel opening and with 20 inch wheels, your SS ride heights are in the 680-685mm. It would be nice to know what yours is currently, however.

So this is what you would like;
1. Small rake, and if so, how much? Dropping the Camaro is important.
2. You want looks over handling?


thanks

Mike,
Thank you for your reply. Pedders has been great to work with so far.

1. Tires are going to stay stock. 245 front & 275 rear. 20"

2. Rims are going to stay stock as well. 20" front and rear.

3. Lingenfelter is doing their 570hp package with Mag S/C, fuel upgrades etc.

4. HP gains should be about 160hp increase over stock.

5. This is my daily driver. I will rarely be at the track, maybe once a year. This set up will be more for street use and the drop to make it look better.

6. I would like it to be sporty but not too extreme as this will be driven every day. It will not be a track car so somewhat close to stock ride would be good. Somedaymaybe it will be more of a track car, but not now.

Lingenfelter will be installing the radius rod bush also. I ordered the subframe bushes but will have them installed in SD, as they aren't ready yet.

A small rake is ok, as long as the back is still a few mm higher than the front. The drop is important. I think the drop that you get from just installing the coilovers would be fine, as I think it is about an inch. Correct? Looks is important but I would like it to handle better than stock. I will give Lingenfelter a call tomorrow and I can get the current ride height both front and back. I appreciate your help and look forward to your products.
