I have Belltech 2" droped spindles with 1.5 JAmex lowering springs.Its a little too low.If yours is a daily driver,I wouldnt recomend a raelly low drop.I bottom out on everything i see.
I had to also cut out some upper inner fender metal to clearance the tires.
Hope this helps,
Nitro Don

thanks don, that's exactly what i wanted to know, i would love to see some pics if you can possibly send me some.... i had ordered the same setup, only i have the eibach 1.5 prokit drop!

i ordered the belltech spindles too, only problem was i already had the eibach's on the car and knew it would make a huge difference with the spindles I really wanted that lowered look in the front, but i knew that i would have had to do some fender work, and didn't want to mess with it; so i returned them. i still want this look, but can't find a satisfactory way of accomplishing it. so i was hoping to hear that the spindles didn't really drop the car (knowing that they did) and i see they do.........anyway, if you can get some pics i would love to see it. thanks again

Question for Nitro,

I have the bell tech spindles as well.
did anybody have any trouble with the tie rod ends? Mine ran out of thread to adjust, not to mention that they are touching in the sleeve.

help???

I had belltech drop spindles on my old 86 Camaro. It sat pretty low and scraped on everything... so when I got a 95 Z28 I went with Eibach pro-kit 1-1/2" drop springs. It lowered it just enough. The ride was awesome and I never bottomed out. I have Suspension Techniques springs on my Firebird. I installed them at the same time I swapped from V6 to V8, so I didn't really get a real "before" and "after" since the engine is heavier, it should sit lower anyway. However, it still sits pretty high in the front. I'm considering changing to Eibachs.
