Yeah long tubes and lowering don't mix.. 26 to 26.5 seem to be a good lowered street height IMO.. Looks wise and ground clearance wise.

atterack833

no pics as i removed the engine , but mine sat so low me and my dad had the get out while it was in gear and push/lift to get it over a wallmart speed bump , when the front tires are flat the nose touches the ground , its a trans am with the front grill things , and it looks bad *** , wish i could drive it like that , btw i have 14`s on it , for now , also theres less than 2 fingers width between the trunk floor and the ground the way it sits now

Roamaver how does your car ride with those Hotchkis springs? I'm thinking about buying them for my car. That's a really nice IROC you have.

plum92_camaro

Do your research on spring rates before you buy. Hotchkis IIRC is only like 600# springs in front. I believe that's close to stock.

My 86 with an Eibach pro kit with c5 wheels. Not coils cut.

roamaver

Thanks!

It feels maybe a little bit more stiff than stock. Barely even noticeable really, but I thought the car felt good with stock springs as well. The air dam under the car scrapes a lot now though lol.

86iroct5

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of lowering my 82 and was wondering what height some of these are. Also, what size are your wheels. Not sure if I should go 18's or 20's.

Any help/pics would be great

Car looks good!
Before you do your wheels, go on a search and destroy for rust. Keep that nice car under you.

crazyone1986ta

tanks for the compliment.. and car is totally rust free except for spots on lower doors where ground effects used to be. we have owned this car since dec '87 bought it off the showroom.. has like 250,000 miles on the body now. I have turned every bolt on this car since warranty ran out

It doesn't get much more perfect than this. Checked out your vBGarage too. Very, very nice.

I agree! We need MOAR!

I'll be adding to it in a few months once I get my sportlines installed with my Koni Yellows.

Ok, here's my Trans Am with Vogtland springs. Drops 1.2'' all around.

I'm liking the level stance Fireblood83. Nice car by the way.

Fireblood83

Thank you! Yes the stance is way better than before. Below some pics of how the car sat on the old MOOG springs. It wasn't sitting too high either, so lowering it a bit with good springs does the job well.

Just got my weight jacks installed... Still trying to get them all evened out how I like them. It's surprisingly hard to find perfectly flat ground to adjust them on.









You can see my PHBRB and LCARB and rear adjusters here... Note the Y-pipe from my long tubes. You can see the collector flanges on either side of the transmission shining in the light.

And with my autocross wheels on...

Looks good. What spring rates did you decide on?

Did you have to change your lug pattern to get those wheels on kooga?

kooga

No I didnt . I followed the concept of another member on the board , and redrilled the rims . Changed the lugpattern to Chevrolet . I also had spacers made to get the width I preffered , and equipped them with lugs aswell , so I could fill the 5 spareholes with rimnuts . These aftermarket rims got 2 different lugpattern and I didnt like the idea of empty holes :-)

Are weight jacks all you have up front?

DBLTKE

iTrader: (1)

No I also have founders 1" raised strut mounts with additional 1" spacers and 1" extended ball joints. I still need more strut travel and crossmember to A-arm clearance so I'm getting drop spindles and shorter struts.

Can you provide some more info on your tire/wheel combo?
