i got a 92 camaro z28 and i was wondering if anyone has pics of a late 3rd gen camaro lowered. one guy told me he saw one lowered almost 2 in and it looks awesome, i was just curious how it looks.

thanks

 

I suggest you buy a set of intrax lowering springs and only put in the front ones. to give you that drag slant. its pretty sweet

 

The Intrax are a 2in drop all the way around....I like the look. I have a 1 3/4 drop with Suspension Techniques and I think it's perfect. I have better pictures then the one in my sig if you want.

Pictures!

 

GET THE 4 SPRINGS IT WILL LOOK SWEET BUT 2 INCHES MIGHT BE TO MUCH DO A SEARCH FOR DROPPED CAMARO'S....DONT DROP IT ON THE FRONT ONLY ITS GONNA LOOK 1970'ISH

 

Here is a pic of my old 86 Camaro. It was a V6 car with Bell-Tech drop spindles on the front and stock V6 springs on the back. This pic was right after it was painted and the stereo wasn't in it. The back sat up too high- after I put the sub box and amp rack in, it sat perfect.

 

did it bottom out a lot?..how about driveways?

 

I think the Bell-Tech's were a 2-1/2" drop if I remember correctly. To be honest, it was a pain to drive. I had to remove the air dam under the car (the one that bolts to the core support) because it was about 1-1/2" off the ground and scraped everything. I never did put a scratch on my front spoiler, but I was super careful. Every driveway approach and parking lot entrance had to be taken at an angle.

Here's how low the car was: While driving fast on a hilly Missouri road, I saw a turtle in the road between 2 hills. Instead of running it over, I tried to straddle it. When I got to the turtle, the car came off the first hill and loaded the front suspension as the front tires started up the second hill. BAM! I nailed it with the crossmember under the engine. Looked in the mirror & saw 100,000 turtle parts scattering across the road. And turtles aren't very tall- imagine trying to straddle a dead raccoon.

By contrast, I had a 95 Z28 and lowered it with Eibach Pro-Kit springs. It was about a 1-1/2" drop which put the tires right at the top of the wheelwells. Drove perfect- never scraped anything. Of course 95 Z's don't have low front spoilers either.

Firebird 383: that is one of the nicest Camaros I have ever seen.

 

How were cooling issues after you removed the Air Dam????

 

Lowered 1" Hotchkis springs and 18" wheels

 

Tom: Thanks. I miss that car. I built it (and sold it) years ago when I lived in Arkansas. The graphics were painted on, not decals. My friends down there say they still see it running around now & then.

FLYNLOW: Amazingly enough, there were no cooling problems. I guess the V6's don't get too hot. I think the cowl hood might have helped air flow through.

 

Firebird 383 that is a really sharp Camaro. What kind of wheels are those and do you have a close-up picture of the stripes/graphics?

Nice [former] ride :hail:

Dayum,RU-QWIK.How long did it take you to post all those pics

Anyway,mine is about a 2" total drop- 1 3/4" with Eibach springs and about another 1/2" with the spring isolators taken out.I replaced the thick isolators with a piece of garden hose to keep the springs from squeaking.

 

hey red what kind of wheels are those and ru those c5 rims look bad ***

 

damn ru how many time u paint ur car. do u have any wheels u wanna sell me. send me some more pics will ya

 

Black Blurr: The wheels were copies of Ronal R9's. I think they were made by "American Eagle" or something (not American Racing). They were 15 x 8.

Here is a close-up shot of the graphics.

 

sweet pics..camaros look so nice with big wheels..it fills up the wheel well and gives it a menacing stance..nice nice pics ru

 

don't know if the picture will repost or not....but what kindof wheels are those?

 

humperific pics! :lala:

 

Yup that settles it........the camaro is getting lowered......

Nice Pics RU-QWIK

 

 

RU,
the blue camaro with the C5 rims, did you have to remove the wheel well splash guard to keep the tires from rubbing?

 

WHO'S CAR IS THIS, and what make and model are these rims, [later question more important] they look ALOT like my Enkie beadlocks, just wondering.
THANKS

 

That was not what I had in mind....here

 

The blue camaro with the C5s is bagged if I remember rightly...
