I don't know if this will help but here ya go.

 

For anyone interested, this is what a set of sportlines should look like on a healthy, otherwise 100% bone-stock suspension. it's a little hard to see exactly how much gap there is between the tire and fender, but this should give you an idea of the height (stock tire size as well):

 

Josh thanks a lot for taking a pic of the sportlines. Now THAT stance is perfect...DropZones are such a shitty company, I can't understand how they have fairly good reviews. I've already placed my order for sportlines, can't wait to get these crappy springs out my car..

 

It seems they did as they are called....DROPzones. Don't bad talk a company just because they don't do EXACTLY what YOU are looking for. If your looking for the perfect ride height...then get something adjustable to adjust to what YOU want(weight jacks by Ground Control.) Or as someone else did...there is a company that has a different ride height spring to suit your liking.

 

They didn't do exactly what they asked for, nor did they do what they advertised. That's what I have a problem with, and that's why they are a garbage company. They don't live up to what they sell. It was suppose to bring both the front and back down 1.75". Does this look like that happened to you? The back actually went UP about 1 inch, and the front was rubbing....

 

Keep comments on track and civil please.

Hotchkis springs, about an inch and half drop, very even. I've seen lots of lowering springs, and IMO, these are the best. Good compromise between height and handling, nice and stiff, but not overly harsh. Just the stance I was hoping for.

Here she is, sitting on Eibach Sportlines, KYB AGX shocks/struts, UPI sway bars, BMR rear lower control arms, BMR Re-location brackets, BMR adjustable panhard bar, BMR adjustable torque arm, and Bridgestone Potenza 245/50/16 ASPole Position tires on 16x8 IROC Rims. This is a "work in progress car" still a lot more to do....

Some awesome cars in this thread! I'll probably end up with the Sportlines for my car. It's not a race car by any means but a fun toy I can enjoy so why not have a stance that's bawlin' too?

I noticed a few members are from Toronto. Where abouts guys? I'm in Scarborough.

Old picture from this summer with Sportlines...it'll be even lower once the cars back on the street with my GC weight jacks

PM if your interested in my Sportlines, don't need them anymore!

 

^^^
clean!!

 

PM'd

 

ima revive this thread theres gotta be more by now! haha..im gonna take some new ones of my stance..

 

My new ride is lower than anyones. Its so low it scrapes.

 

Had Dropzone springs in my car for five years. No complaints. Car was cracking off 11.5 quarter mile times on DR tires.

 

nice!

 

new pics with sportlines settled in a little more.... would be interested in some groundcontrol weight jacks if someone can lead me in the right direction where to get them.

P.S. Teal 94 in pic is for sale. pm me if interested. also in camaro wanted ad's

Do you have the rear isolators in Josh? 17x9.5 rims?

 

http://www.ground-control-store.com/...hp/II=20/CA=67

cant wait to get em!!!

 

Gorgeous car all around! Always loved yours. Great job.

This is BY FAR my favorite color combo on the 3rd gen IROCs. It will never go out of style. Beautiful car.



Anyways, heres a shot of my TA with Tokico 1 1/4" drop springs.



And a shot of my brother's 91 bird with Hotchkis springs....

 

Hotchkis website says 1" drop but norcalz28 said his was 1.5"? I'll probably end up with the Sportlines. Once I get my Ronal R15's mounted up I'll post a pic although it will have stock springs and no motor/trans

 

Here are a few of my car with Jamex springs:

 

i have sportlines and tokico 5way adjustable shocks and struts on it, it rides amazing! time for wheels and tires now!

 

bump for more pics, im getting sportlines on my third gen very soon

 

Heres some current shots before sportline, after pics will come when I get them on

 

recent picture

 

eibach pro kit

 

pics of rear with notchback please?

 

 

nicce what brand is it, personal opinion but i think the spoiler on it would look cool too, still sick though

 

One of my favorite cars at thirdgen fest. Beautiful ride!

 

thanks man,,, I wish I knew who took the pics so I could thank them.... Im not sure if you heard me pull up but if you did that loud ticking turned out to be the alternator,,,,,,, nothing like pulling up in a car that looks nice and sounds like ****....

 

newer pic, bad angle it's MUCH lower than it looks, and the rear tires have a tiny sidewall

 

aw heck I'll post mine. Not super low, it's a functional height. It's def. not as pretty as some of these cars but it makes up for its looks with world class cornering capability

 

What rims are those Pablo? Looks killer!

 

looks like a set of ccw's

 

Attachment 221062pro-kit, love the height and never bottom out with my konis.

 

what kind of rims are those?

 

How do you like those Firestone tires? Same ones I got.. They seem to grip really well for me.

 

love em! they grip well and have a great tread pattern.

 

Post some more info/pics of that notchback in the "Post Firebird pics" section.

 

Or BBS's

 

Thanks guys, the wheels are CCW Classics. 17x11 up front, 17x12 in the back. Took a little bit of work to get em in there but it was well worth it.

 

CCW's

 

I am wanting to lower my car a little (Even with some terrible roads around here). I would like 1"-2" drop. How much should i cut off Factory springs to achive this? Also, is it necessary to have LCA Relocation Mounts, Lower Control Arm's, Adjustable Panhard Bar, and Aftermarket Shocks?
I'm wanting to do it without spending a lot of money as the car's getting fresh paint right now, and just got a fresh drivetrain.

 

just realized i look at this thread, ALL THE TIME and never post any pics..haha..lowered mine more..check it out!

before i took the rear iso's out:


after with new fogs

 

When lowering these are not required unless your dropping it dramatically. That being said every one of those will work with springs to dramatically improve handling. Also buy a nice pair of springs. Sportlines are my favorite. But instead of cutting the stock I'd invest in new ones

 

Isolators are in for now. Rears are 18 by 10.5 fronts are 17 by 9.5

 

So your paying for a paintjob but don't want to spend $200 on actual lowering springs?? Don't cut springs. It's not the correct way and by cutting factory springs, you lower the travel of them while keeping the same spring rate, meaning your car will not have the correct spring stiffness for the height of them. It's going to constantly hit the bumpstops when your on a rough road. I paid $400 for my name brand Tokico blue shocks and spring kit.
