What Are Some Of The Ways To Jack Up The Back Of The New Camaro? (Higher Ride Height)

I'd Like To Try It To See How The Car Looks With A Higher Ride Height In The Back.

Here is a pic of a car lowered 1 inch in the rear and 1.4 inch in the front. You can accomplish this with coil overs or we have BMR 1.4 inch drop springs that can be bought as a pair and will soon have the 1 inch springs also available as a pair.

There are coil overs out there that I understand can raise the Camaro up 1 inch

Dude likes the shackled-up look. I've seen people do MUCH worse things to these cars.

You could use coil spacers for a bit of a lift. Depending on how high you want to go, you might also need to have some shock spacers fabbed up to give your rear shocks their full range of travel. Or you could just install front lowering springs and leave the rear stock height to achieve similar results. Post pics when you're done.

Air shocks pumped up to about 150psi. Why your at it get a set of crager ss rims with a reverse offset and 10'' rims. Don't forget to get a chrome rear end cover and traction bars.

The seventies rocked.

You can easily change the front to rear by a couple inches with coilovers. In this configuration, the car will not handle all that well, but it would deliver the look you are interested in.
