Default Need pics of 18's on an inch drop
Hey all, would prefer pics on a t/a or firebird, but any fbody will do. Im getting 18 black zo6's and I was looking at dropping the car. I know if I go tru duals I cant drop it anymore than that. If I dont go tru duals, anyone have any idea how much I should drop it to get a good performance look with 18's???

I would say hotchkis or bmr. I have hotchkis and I like the look of my car. Check thestickies in the suspension section to get some ideas of how it'll look.

I don't have any pics yet, but I have BMR springs and 18" Y2Ks. I'm definitely happy with that setup.

I have 18" C5's and about a 1" drop (DMS springs/ Bilstein HD shocks) It rides harsher than the stock 16"s

Pics in sig. Hotchkis springs. They advertise a 1" drop, but they settle at around 1 and a 1/4.

Pro kit here also, I believe it is a 1 1/2" drop though, I think it is the max safe drop to keep from tearing up your car.
