Question on Lowering a 1995 Camaro

I've got a 95' and I want to lower it with spindles NOT springs. DO any of you know where I should buy the kit? Thanks!

Custom spindles are for vehicles that are typically dropped well over 2", i.e. trucks. There are plenty of springs out on the market that are capable of dropping an F-body 2", which is generally about as far as you want to go on one anyway.

Check out Belltech and see if they make them, but I doubt it.

Think if through first before you lower it. If this is primarily a show car, fine - but if you are going for larger exhaust/headers in the future, might be a good idea to stay away from lowering it. You could always add a body kit then to give it that lowered appearance, without sacrificing clearance for future exhaust mods.

Uhhh... Why?

Is it because you want the ride height without the correct ride, and you want to bottom out and scrape all the time? Sounds fun, but I'd pass.

There's a reason springs ride in a more stiff fashion; it's because you don't have as much clearance to bounce around anymore. You use your stock springs and they're going to try to Cadillac bounce you right into the ground under the right conditions.
