I just put some new wheels and tires on my car, and it needs to be lowered to look proper. I'm trying to decide between a 1" drop front and rear, or a 1.3" drop in the back and a 1.6" drop in the front. these are the springs I'm going to use SPRINGS on SALE.

I think the 1.3/1.6 combo will be better, but I just don't want my car to sit at a big angle and look like a dragster. I don't think it will because 3/10 of an inch isn't that much, but I'd like some other people's opinions.

Here's some pics of the car.

 

Another angle

 

I really don't think it's going to rake the car much. Personally,I would go with the 1.3/1.6 springs. I just think in my opinion that these cars look better without all that wheel well gap.

 

hey what size are those z06's mine are 18"s 10.5's in the rear 9.5 in the front.. i just wanted to lower my car so there was no fender to tire gap if possible... so i'll like to see how yours turns out.. mine arent even mounted yet

 

Ahh i wish i would of known they were on sale i would of bought them this week instead of my brake pads.

 

Go with the 1.3/1.6 drop. you'll be happy with it. just my I lowered my car about 2 mths ago after i put my 18" on, and everybody i know loves it!

 

i'd go with the sportlines too. But on the other hand you can have a 2/1.8 inch drop with intrax springs for a mere 180 bucks (summitracing)

 

do it for free, cut the springs.

 

Pro-Kits

 

Heres my prokit. Its like 1 inch drop all around, or suppose to be like that. I got alittle rake and want alittle lower.

 

My sportlines

 

3.5' drop

 

sportlines..

 

Those sportlines dont look too much different than the ProKit. Maybe .5 inch difference in front but like 1inch in rear. Doesnt look all that low.

 

YEAH RIGHT! look at them bitches tuckin

 

Wow. The sportlines look great.


Camaro05: your car looks beautiful!

 

Found this picture on cardomain.com, these wheels are tucking for sure.....Don't know specs though.....

 

17 inch rims lowered with pro-kit.

Although I haven't been here long, your car is easily the cleanest, best looking firebird I've seen.

here is mine

 

ProKit.

Get Sportlines.

 

Hey Nolan I tired to message yah but your box was full. I like those wheels thinking about getting them was wanting some more info if thats cool.

 

omg camaro05 i origianlly was going to wait on lowering mine in fear of tearing the front end up a tad but damn i think you just made me order a set of those that is one bad looking ride. That is liek the stance, whats your wheel tire combo that looks nice.


Chomp, kinda looks liek my car before the huge hood monster came for me, looks sweet get soem dark tint.

 

Short Eibach's with Ground-Control adjusters. Not sure how far down it went, but I can go lower or higher (Although not a cool as airbags can...)

 

1.5" Jamex

lower is over rated...

 

Kandied, have you considered having your doorhandles painted body color?

 

no..either they stay black or they disappear. haven't decided.

 

cough..cough *disappear*..cough

 

i like the look of the thirdgen, the molds and handles included...

 

I noticed that key holes were not included in there...........

 

Stay Black

 

yea imo body colored door handles just look cheap, like you were to lazy to take them off and spray them seperate, i would however get rid of that trim down the center of your door and show off that body.,

Nice job kandied i think ah hell i'll get the the same springs as camaro05 and just drive careful, then you bust out the airride pics and change my mind again. I want it sitting on bags:hail:

 

Keep em black. Looks much better. It breaks up the longness of the doors.

 

Sad thing is that looks almost like my cars ride height lol.

 

close....this is a close up. i hope it isn't this high.

 

Thanks for the compliment, the fronts are 255/40/17 and the back is 285/40/17

 

I just put the 17x8 slp ss wheels on mine. I also put hotchkis 1 inch lowering springs. Now my car is a z28 so the ground effects aren't as low as the rs's. On my car i probablay could have done the 1.6 or 1.3 but the 1 inch looks great. Since you have an rs i'd just do the 1 inch springs.

 

RS and Z28 have the same GFX

 

love it dude, did u modify ur rear springs any?
