Buy me a round trip airline ticket, buy the springs, and a large pizza, maybe some Corona too, and I'll lower it for you...

Hey Bub, that is a really sweet car. It's one of the first camaro's i really like. It's different than all the other ones you see on this site. Good work, and it would look sweet lowered.

Dave

PS That car looks like a sleeper, but it has a mean side, i dunno get a nice engine in there and you'll be set

It looks really good lowered, agressive look. I like the car as a whole too. White has always been my favorite f-body color. I got to try and get a shot of that chevelle with like a 18" lift on it... the guy put mud tires on it and goes out mudding.

I wondered the same thing about mine (whether I should drop it or not) but I started realizing that I liked getting over speed bumps. (Also, the rims in the rear are too big, I had to pound them out to have the rims and tires fit in the first place)

Will someone photoshop my ride lowered ?

actually, bub, i like how your car sits after the photoshop by rob.

white is not a favorite color of mine, but you manage to make it look good, especially with your wheels.

what type of wheel is that?

Looks a lot better lowered, too much wheel gap in there right now.

one other thing......how do i find out if i have enough clearance for a 1 1/2" lowering...do i just measure out 1 1/2" and just go all around the top of the tire and see if it will hit anywhere?

u could lower your car 4 inches before worring about clearence problems, the way the car sits now you could go off roading.

I think I will leave mine the way they are. I don't think it would be wise to go any further.
