I say #2. It's hard to tell on my computer but looks like there is a lot of tire gap between the tire and fender on the back on #1.

PUT SOME AIR SHOCKS IN THE REAR AND YOU CAN HAVE EITHER ONE.

If I was gonna choose one it would be 2, but arn't you afraid of bottoming out everywhere? I scrape all the time as it is.

I vote for #2, but the 1st setup would be good for weight distribution at the track.

I personally like #2 and plan on doing something very similar
with my car. I like it more than #1, because it levels the car all
the way around, while reducing the fender gap.

#2 drop both the front and back it looks alot nicer. The stock wheel gap of camaros is way to large. Also only dropping hte front will affect the aerodynamics and give more drag.

hey i think im the only one but not sure, but i voted for number one. why u ask? well a camaro is a muscle car and if yall remeber back in the days of the muscle cars they where jacked up in the rear with hugh meats back there. well it looks better to have to back up higher. becuz muscle cars arnt suposed to be dragin its self on the ground, its suposed to be up off the ground and killin (beatin as in racing) everything it can and be off the ground with pride. well thats my reason why i picked number one. i know some may not agree with me but tuff u know what.

Another vote for #2 here, looks great man! Did you use pro-kit springs or sportline springs?
