I've never heard of a 3rdgen l;owering spring that wont work on an iroc or gta. What brand are the springs? Sounds like the incorrect springs.

They're Dropzone brand springs.

I thought the same thing.... Z-28, IROC, Trand Am, GTA... all the same car. But when we installed them the tire-to-fender gap went from 4" to about 1/4" !!! All I can say is I think these are for a "regular" V8 or V6 3rd Gen F-body.

So basically I'm thinking they would work great on a V8 or V6 RS Camaro.

Re: 82-92 Camaro / Firebird Lowering springs FOR SALE

Sounds like V6 springs then. Z28/GTA wouldn't be THAT much different than "other" V8 cars, like an RS/TA. Formulas maybe, but still heavier than a V6 car.

If your car had a 4" gap to begin with, I'd be wondering about the springs that were in there aready too.

Tell me about it. the car looked like it was getting ready for take-off !!

Looks like I'll be buying some Eibach springs... pro's or sportlines this time around.

If no one buys these, I'll be tossing them into the recycle bin.

reversing them ?????

The rear spring coil is larger than the front coils, thus they won't fit in the front...

Re: 82-92 Camaro / Firebird Lowering springs FOR SALE

If they dropped your car 3 3/4", I don't wanna know how high it sat!

I only dropped mine just under 2" (i'm gonna low a bit lower still), in the front, & it is pretty low. Can't imagine it being almost 4" higher!

The original front tire to fender gap was right at 4". I'm telling you, the car looked like it was launching from a starting line just sitting there !

What springs did you use to get the 2" drop ?

What springs did you use to get the 2" drop ?
I used a kit of Weight Jacks from Ground Control with 600lb fronts/150lbs rear. And the springs are Eibachs.

Best part about Weight Jacks, is the adjustable ride height feature. If I decide it is too high or too low, simple turns of a wrench will change that without buying anything. Nor will it make the car ride stiffer or softer....just higher or lower.
