How low is your camaro?

I want to lower my camaro but I'm debating wether to go with 1" or 1.25" drop, maybe even 1.4" drop. If you could post a picture of your stance to help me decide id appreciate it.

Well, Bee is not a hover craft, so I would say it's on the ground...


As far as the springs go, I have the ZL1 springs which lowered my SS 3/4"-1" after everything settled out.

Pfadt 1.25. I would NOT go any lower on static ride height due to not only drivability, but bushing issues.

That being said...IMHO, the lower it is, the better it looks!!

1.25" is about as far as I suggest lowering in the rear. Any more and you'll run into axle issues and misaligned suspension geometry.

BMR's 1.25" drop springs; Part # SP077 are the best value on the market right now.

Best regards,

Tyler

Love that response. I think you have convinced me to go 1.25". I had been debating between it and the 1.4 all around.

1.8/1.7 H&R look great, rides good but too low for daily driver and will blow struts out, I just went to coilovers due to this issue. Loved the look and wheels tucked up into wheel well prefect, but between a rodent ruining my front end and rear blown strut, sadly had to lift it. Coilovers ride is so smooth, think it has smoothest ride of any car I've ever been in now lol
