how far lowered are you?

looking at some drop springs for my car, made by Falken (yes, the tire manufacturer) and they are a 2.0 front, 1.8 rear which seems like it might be a LOT more than I want. just wondering how low you guys are?

My Z-28 has Eibach Sportlines, so whatever those are good for.

if you go that low throw the idea of getting long tubes out the window...i have the Eibach kit aswell and its about a 1.5 inch drop...and i even scrape shorty headers.

I guess it depends where you live if you scrape alot or not...where i live it can be pothole city and a ton of train tracks...my car personally only really rubs gettin into my driveway but my friend rich has long tubes and he cant hit a bump for anything...we are gettin a new pipe bent to see if we can tuck it up higher but for now i guess hes screwed.

I have longtubes with my Sportlines. Yeah, it drags on occasion, but not as bad as I thought it might. It depends whether you're mindful of them or if you drive around without any regard for them. I've got 1.25 inches of clearance from the ground to the lowest point on my exhaust.

+1 for the Eibach Springs with LT's crowd. My LT's scrape pretty bad too I went 1.5 in in front and 1 in out back with 18 in wheels.



edit: Holy Big Picture! Sorry

Ive got Hotchkis springs installed which are advertised as a 1" drop, but I think it may have dropped a bit more.

Check out Sam Strano's springs. They'll be the one's I'll be getting. Should be safe most places in KS.
