I'd like to see pics of lowered third gen camaros

I wanna order a set of Eibach sport line lowering springs for my car. Here's the low down, I do have an RS with the optional Z28 suspension package (F41 for the enthusiasts here) Although the car handles more than well enough for stock use (corners like a bat outta hell...on rails?) I would like to lower my car to improve my handling a bit more and to give the car a more aggressive stance.

I am afraid though, of how the car would look if its lowered anymore. It is pretty low as is, but that could be because the springs have sagged over the years or because of the suspension package I really don't have a clue. Anyways, I just wanna see some pics of some lowered third gen camaros to see how they look. I plan to make a drop of 1 inch.

Stock RS (with the F41 rpo).



This is with bad front swaybar endlinks - the sway bar was basically disconnected from the control arms.
After installing new endlinks the front raised 1/2 inch.

I considered buying new springs, but I like the comfortable ride. So, instead, I'm just going to get kyb agx all around.

Lowered 91Z

These are intrax springs - 2" front drop, 1 3/4" rear drop.

I loved the stance. Springs are now on my IROC.

A pole ran out in front of me in the rain...

I lost control in the rain, was only doing like 40 mph, hit a bump that lifted the back end and when it came down, it went all squirrelly. Managed to find the only pole on the entire road.
**** happens.

I got the IROC and transferred all the good stuff over. I just recently bought a 92 to replace the 91.

Wow, rain sucks. I had similar mishap, but I was only doing about 20 and I happened to find the side of an 18 wheeler making a not-quick-enuff left hand turn in front of me. My damage looked like yours divided by 20 (not that bad).

Glad to hear you could transfer parts to another thirdgen.
