Default What springs or shocks ?

Hello everyone, I posted in body repair two weeks ago but it was wrong topic catagory so I'm repost. My z28 is lowered, I have stock springs already. I'm definitely putting 1 1/4 inch spacers on. It brings the tires out nice and wide. I do not want to roll fenders. I will put spacers in the springs. Can I put a bigger spring or a different rear shocks to eliminate fender rubbing. I have a 12 inch sub box and two amps that weigh me down a little. Sub box staying, spacers staying. What springs or shocks do you recommend ? thanks. I've had this combo before but I've always rolled fenders.

I might be a bit slow, but how are you lowered with stock springs? Cut coils?

Like "Element" said, you're lowered, but on stock springs? AND, you're going to install spacers on your wheels, to get the tires out further, while putting spacers on the springs, to compensate for the extra weight of your stereo gear??


This is SO wrong, on several levels.....

I'm lowered on after market springs now. Going to put stock springs back or a recommended spring that ls1 tech members recommend. I always put spacers in my springs along with rolling fenders. I don"t want to roll fenders this time-- (4th fbody). So I was wondering which spring or shock to use. Thanks
