Hi everybody. Newbie here. I have a 69 Camaro and it needs new springs, definately in the rear - main leaf on driver's side is bent, but im probably going to do all around. Now, im thinking about lowering it a little bit. Im still not sold on the idea completely, but its something ive been thinking about doing for a while now and since i need new springs anyway, i figure why not. Anybody have any experience with lowering these cars. I was looking at the hotchkis leaf spring kit(1-1/2" drop) for the rear and their sport spring kit(2" drop) for the front. The wheels and tires I have on the car are 15x8 American Racing Torq Thrusts at all 4 corners with BFGoodrich Radial T/A P215s on the front and P255s on the rear. Would I have to modify anything else for this to fit the car? Any suggestions as to other companies or leaving the car the stock ride height?
