ZR1's help please I have a 98 z28 lowered with the eibach pro line kit and i also installed all new struts but for some reason my car sits way lower than any other camaro that i have looked at with the same suspension setup that i have. So with that said my buddy has a set of original 17in zr1 wheels that i am thinking bout purchasing, the rear are 17x11 with 315/35/17 mickey thompson street slicks, and the fronts are 17x9.5 with 275/40/z17s. Does anybody know of any problems that i might could expect, any info is appreciated.....

they'll fit fine with BFH (big F*ckin hammer) mod and fender rolling... I did that with eibach sportlines and they rubbed at first (stock shocks) after my KYB's no more rubbing...presuming it to be valve release and compression being more aggressive for the new shocks over the stocks...but KONI/Strano Bilstein/Strano seems to be the best mods for the 11's

u will have to preform a bumpstop mod, roll ur fenders if ur going to lower your car with 315 size tires. If not you WILL have ur tire(s) tear into your fenderwells when u hit slight bumps
It's best not to put lowering springs on your car if u wanna roll on 315's as a DD
