What Lowering Springs with 17x11's?

How much of a drop can you go with 17x11 ZR1's? Or isn't there any restrictions? Also, what brands are you guy using with these wheels? Thanks.

You have LT headers at all? If you do you might want to be careful how far you drop your car, might have a clearence issue arrise. Other than that, i bought the GMMG Eibach Pro-Kit, haven't installed it yet, but it drops the Z28 1.3/8th inches, and i'll be running 18" wheels. Should be fine.

sportline springs, jethot longtubes and 17x11 ZR1's with 335's thats what i've got.

I wouldn't recommend it tho, I've done a lot of work to get it to work for me, just the 11" rears will require some work to get them to fit.

Good Luck

Pics are in my sig.

I don't have long tubes and I already have the wheels on the car. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I'm running Eibach Pro Springs 1.5" drop no problems. I have a buddy who had a 2" drop no problems. Only modification we had to do was curl the fender lips inward to prevent rubbing...

Curl the fender lip inward? Hey, I have the Eibiach Pro and my 17x11's rub and even cut the back tires. How can I roll the back fender? I saw a fender rolling machine in the Eastwood catalog for around $250, but that is a bit much.
