Help Im Going To Lower My Z28

I have a 1986 camaro and I am about to order 1.75 lowering springs in the front and 1.5 in the back is this enough. I am going to get the shocks and struts to is that it?
Also I currently have a strong 305 H.O would it be best to bore and build this moter or go with like a small block 400.

you'll need to add an adjustable panhard bar to your list as well.... can find one off eBay for fairly cheap

So what does the panhard bar do and according to the research I've done it has to be welded in is this true? Do you have to get the relocation brackets.

nope your confused

panhard bar goes across the axle left to right top to bottom. when you lower sometimes the axel will sit off to one side a bit. adjustable panhard will allow you to true the rear end up under the car.

when you do the fronts you will want new ball joints cause your there and posibly new bushings if it needs it.
