I'm getting my car lowered tomorrow moring with a set of Eibach Sportline Springs (1.6 in front 1.3 in rear). I'm running 17X8 American Racing TTII's. (not sure of what back spacing) My tiresize is P275/40/R17's..all the way around. From looking at these pictures...it looks like my rear wheels are going to be pretty close to the body. Should I be alright? I NEVER drive this car..I only drove it about 6-7 times last summer. I could see if I drove the car everyday....where this could be a problem..but since I never drive it...thought maybe since it's going to be a little close..it might be alright.

 

pictures are kind of dark..

 

I have a pretty big gap between the body and tires..

 

you dont know the back spacing , and you only drive the car 6 to 7 times a year . Man you must be getting old, my dad only drives his 77 trans am that many times a year , well mabye 10-15 , but only 6 how come?

 

You should be fine.

 

thanks ShiftyCapone, I think I'll be alright too...we just got 3 guys on the back of the car..to drop it down...just to get an idea of what I'll be getting into...and I think it'll be alright.

And nolanr0413, to answer your question, I'm actually kind of afraid to drive my car....after the accident I got in with my old 84 Z. I was just sitting at a stoplight..and got rearended...7 grand..down the drain..and a permanent back injury. So, when I do drive my 91...it's usually out in the country...where there isn't much traffic.

 

dont let your fear of the unknown rob you of enjoying your car. i enourage you to enjoy your car as much as you can. nothing in this world is forever, enjoy what you have now and dont worry about what could happen. you were already robbed of one camaro and your health, dont let the world totally rob you of all your fun too. if you cant enjoy the things of this world, why have them in the first place?

 

Damn I just ordered the pro-kit. Looks like the sportlines aren't that low really. I only have 16's though. Not sure how much lower I would be.

 

you have the backwards i belive the pro is higher than the sport sport is the bigger drop.

 

just don't have any heavy weight in the back or a fat passenger.... that's cutting it awfully close. i couldn't do it with a pro-kit and my z06 wheels that far out.

save up, time to go 18's...
