Springs and IROCs

Well, my stock springs make the car sit great, but they are worn out.

From what ive read, the IROCs sit 1/2" lower than the z/28s do.

All of these aftermarket springs say, "1" drop" or whatever. Im wondering what I would need to retain my stock height, or have a minimal drop? My car sits low enough right now, and i love the stance. I just wonder if this 1" drop would be for a SC camaro or not. Don't want to end up higher then stock, or too low either.

Does anyone have pictures of their lowered IROC? Post a pic, and tell me what springs you are running, and how often you scrape out.

Thanks!

Hmmm
How did you determine that your stock springs are "worn out" ?

I had the shocks and struts replaced with KYB's, and my front still seems to bounce a bit too much.

Front end scrapes too easily on bumps, etc. I figured it was just my struts which were causing the problem.

I figure after 16 years, the springs are sagging a bit, or perhaps the owner of my car before has used a torch or cut the coils to get it to sit the way it does now. looks are 100%, but ride isnt' so great.
