thats the perfect drop to me, but i dont have a V8... who sells lowering springs for a V6? i was thinking eibach prokit but thats for a V8, ah i dont know help me out here lol thanks

wat if i put the eibach sportlines or prokits on that were made for the V8? would it be that bad? or am i just dumb and they sell those kits for V6s and im just not seeing it... haha

i was reading some of the past topics when i serached for this, but didnt find too much, but i noticed AntiVTech has sportlines on his car and it looks awesome... is that a kit for a V8 car? i think his is a little too low for me... so i was thinking of getting the eibach prokit that is amde for a V8 and put it on my V6... would that lower my car? because i heard rumors of how the prokits for the V8s installed in a V6 car wont lower it much... i dont know, any help appreciated :-)

I have a set of V8 springs with drop spindles. It seems to be just right.

Sprint Suspensions makes 2" drop coils for the V-6 Camaro.Only difference from the V-8 coils is lighter front coils.

Here is a pic of my car before I washed it. It has V8 springs with KYB's. I did have to cut 1 coil before I bought drop spindles I had 1.5 coils cut on the rear. Also this not my everyday car any more.
