Best Lowering Springs For A Convertible
I'm planning to install lowering springs on my 1989 Convertible Camaro. I just found out that convertibles have "flatter" rear wheel wells and that there is less room for suspension travel than in a coupe. I understand that will limit my options.
Based on your experience, what lowering springs are best for use on a convertible. I really don't want any wheel rubbing issues that could compromise handling/safety. I'm currently running 255-40-17 tires but plan to upgrade to 275-40-17 at some point.
I already posted in the Suspension section. I though this would be appropriate to also post here since it is a convertible specific question. Thanks in advance for any replies. Also, pics would be much appreciated.
