Dropped the camaro.
I put some Pro kit's on. Very happy. Not to high, not to low. No scrapping when driving around town.

Re: Dropped the camaro.
Very subtle drop. You dont even notice unless your looking for it. Is there a noticeable diff. in the handling? I mean, you still lowered your center of gravity, if even a little. I was considering a mild drop myself, but after I installed the duals I need all the clearance I can get.
Still, nice mod.
Oh, and brand of LCA's do I see peeking out from under there?

Re: Dropped the camaro.
I did notice it indeed does handle a little better. I measured before and after, and it dropped it about an inch. IMO, much more noticeable in person than pictures. Biggest difference was the back. No before and after pics though. Those are UMI LCA's and relocation brackets under there.

Re: Dropped the camaro.
looks good.. the best mod I've ever made was sub-frame connectors.
I'm planning on putting a pro kit into my 91Z.. but with the stock sagged springs, I think it might even give the car a slight lift

Re: Dropped the camaro.
That slight difference is noticeable and it makes the car sleeker IMO. Man, that is just down right luster licious! What did you do to get that mirror shine on the paint??

Re: Dropped the camaro.
Thanks for the kind words guys. I Just ordered SPOHN sway bars and a adjustable panhard bar.
The paint is great, but still needs a little work here and there. All in time though.

Re: Dropped the camaro.
The car looks great! The drop completes the look, but you should feel the handling difference between pro-kit and the sportlines 
Are you still using Moose Wax and Glaze?

Re: Dropped the camaro.
An inch is much more noticeable in person than the pictures. I want to stay away from scrapping everywhere I go and hitting bump stops.
I am currently doing Clearkote Red Machine Glaze + 3 layers of Pinnacle Souverän Paste Wax

Re: Dropped the camaro.
Car looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I too have the prokit, and I got about a 3/4" right away, and another 1/4" to half inch over the next few weeks.
The paint IS in fact gorgeous, but guys, isn't it supposed to be?
....scares me to think what the rest of you are runnin' around with!!!!!!
