I have my Z-28 'vert 6-spd lowered 2" on Eibach springs, w/Bilstein shocks (made for the SS). I have literally every suspension bolt-on.
On 17" SS wheels w/ 275's all around, it drags speed bumps, but when I put the 20" wheels on it w/255's, it looks great, and rides at stock height again. The downfall is, w/ 2x 12" subs, and at least 1 passenger, it sits on the rear bumpstops.
I haven't fixed it yet, but if its a daily driver,
I would change the rear bumpstops,
Or only lower it an inch.
Definitely handles better. I recommend changing to polyuerathane wherever u can

Looks awesome, but I'm never lowering nor buying any lowered car, ever again. Just not worth the hassles.

Looks sexy ! But damn the ride has to be bumpy? I bet you feel every pot hole now ? I had sportlines all around and I liked them at first but then it got to rough and I hated hitting everything

The car just looks bad ***. Stance is just right and the combo with the wheels set it off. I do agree with alot of the comments driving it daily is a hassle. My 01 SS was lowered on Sportlines and that thing would hit everything and got tired of it. If its a weekend driver no biggie. Either way nice ride OP

It rode great for those who asked. Even though I didnt have it for very long I wanted to make something memorable, and I think I accomplished that

Thank you for the comments. I had a vision for this car the second I saw it for sale, and luckily before it was wrecked I was able to accomplish it and share it. And its not really a hassle, at least around here it wasnt

You need to blackout that third brake light, and the side front bumper lights. I think that will finish off the look very well.
