Camaro running and ready for offroad???

After removing over 200lbs from the front of the car it's way to high. Now parking stops are no problem.

Hah, it doesn't look all that high to me. I'd have to see it from the side. Looks like a nice neighborhood, there.

I was thinking that same thing. The only front end work I've done on my 88 was add some poly sway bar bushings. I need to do the whole shabang.
K-member, struts, springs, bushings maybe even a new, quicker steeering box, brakes. (maybe someday I'll worry about the apperance)

With all that weight gone would 2" lowering springs act more like 1" or stock height?

The front was higher than the rear, After lowering the front 5/8" the car looks like stock now.
