Go with the Agkit. Although personally I think Camaro's look best with a 2" drop.

I've never heard of those brands of lowering kits. I do know that the Eibach Pro-Kit(approx 1") is more for performance and the Eibach Sportline(approx 2") is more for looks.

So it comes down to if you want looks or performance. I prefer performance when it comes to suspension.

Niether....

Get a weight jack kit. You can go up or down in the spring rates MUCH cheaper, if you decide to & set the height YOU want, with whatever spring rate you decide to go with.

If you "simply want it lower", spend no $ & cut your springs. Only costs you time.

Re: Which drop should I choose?

I believe i'm gonna go with the ag kit, Its more for looks, the only racing I do is red light to red light, Its not a drag car. Oh and the paint is prowler flame orange. It's satin black now until I decide how I want to paint it again. Thanks for all the comments,
The AG kit springs are sold on ebay their made by the same company that made the old drop zone springs.
