I have 94 Z28, and I've been thinking about lowering it about an inch. Is that a good idea, or will it drag on everything.

 

go for it. if you have 275/40 tires a huge apperance will be noticed.either way go for it. Eibach prokit would be nice. if you want a nice rake use Eibach sportlines, just make sure the rear insulators are'nt taken out.
i got sportlines, looks like a totally differant beast.the only thing that rubs is the air dam on my drive way, but w/ certain angles you will learn to adjust.

 

I'm only looking to lower it about an inch, to an inch an half. Also will lowering it improve the ride?

 

If you have long tube headers you may want to reconsider. Having said that, lots of people still lower there cars w/long tubes and just become more aware of the road. A 1 inch drop will make a nice difference in the cars appearence and apperant handeling. I use the Eibach pro-kit as well and would not give up that stance for anything

 

Oh, I don't have headers it's stock.

 

the improvement it makes in handling is awsome. i'm talking 10-20mph improvements in on/off ramp turns.

 

I'm all so thinking about getting a strut tower brace. How much would that help me out?

Yeah I can tell the difference in the fender well gap. Looks better lowered, your car is nice do you anymore pics?

 

NOT LOWERD. i will get more this weekend.i don't know about a strut tower brace. iv'e just moved into the handling phase of the car.i think sub-frame connectors would improve more than a brace, but i do plan on getting both.

 

Oh, do you think my car is will look good with the stock wheels? I have the slanted 10 spoke wheels.

 

yea i think so, the good think about those is the lettering on the hub.actually those will compliment better on a lowred car.

 

For me the cars handling felt improved upon after lowering. It feels like the back end is more stable now. As far as weight transfer though for 1/4 mile times, that's a different story. Sub-frame connectors also helped, but I did take off the shock tower brace. It wasn't worth the extra weight it added to the car. As I said, I like straight line performance also, so it looks like its time for some QA1s and some different front springs.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

PLEASE post on the correct forum. Questions about "lowering" don't belong on "LT1/LT4 Engine Tech".
