For the most part, yes. But I guess the height of the bumps may be a determining factor. Since most seem to be different heights it's hard to say. Really 1" insn't that much. I doubt I'd worry about it too much. I think my car is lower than a 1" drop.

My 96 z has the pro kit on it w/o lt and i have problems on drive ways and sharp drops like that but i can still clear most bumps. With the lt's, i would just look out for for going over bumps to fast and stay away form curbs.

I have a Pro Kit and factory manifolds... And I still have encountered speed bumps before where no matter what I did, I scraped like crazy on them.

Would you mind to take a picture & post so I could see how they sit/clear? I would appreciate it very much if possible? Thanks!

yes you should clear depending on how low your car actually is. i have 1" springs and my car actually sits way lower than 1" and my kooks dont scratch. now i have scraped a couple of times on really big speed bumps but nothign major. my sfc bottom out more than my headers do

That's pretty much what I'm saying, not getting smart. Sorry I can't deliver pics right now. Digital camera isn't in my Camaro budget.

I have the Kooks with the Pro kit and Hal shocks.

Speed bumps don't work at all and if my shocks are loose I can hit on roads that have dips if I'm going 45-50 in town.


If you're careful they are fine

Thanks for the info. It'd be nice to see a digital pic if possible? Thanks for the input!
