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?

With that wheel and tire combination, you won't have to modify anything(providing the BS on the wheels is standard).

Since you're looking for suggestions, we're running a Group Purchase on my website for Detroit Speed parts. They have 2" drop and 3" drop leafs. Click here for the Group Purchase details (http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=1234).

With my mini-tub project, I went with the 3" drop.
