Default Lowered my 94 Z28!

I wanted to show off my car i lowered the front 1.5 inches, but not the rear due to time and weather! i am doing 1.5 in the rear also this friday!

What do you guys think?

I will be taking better photo's later with my camera. these were taken from my phone!

Lowered F-body LT1's is a must.. I lowered mine.. I hate how high they sit from the factory.. looks sharp!

Love the front stance, looks killer. Maybe just do the heater hose mod for the back. I love that mod

I agree with everyone else, it looks pretty mean the way it sits now. Lil off topic, but what color is that? I don't think I've ever seen it before and I really like it.

Does lowering it just in the front cause any weird handling/ride/etc? I'd love to lower the car, but can't do to my low hanging catback, doing it just in the front sounds like an option.

i will admit i love the look of a high *** like that. but 4th gen camaros (that arent track only cars) look like they fit better being all equal in height. the different rims also dont help im getting a better look of the profile tho :p it still does look good tho

I dont have any clearance problems my exhaust is pretty well tucked in i have no mufflers just straight pipe. I have hit some pretty hard bumps on the highway and havent bottomed out.......the ride is a bit more stiffer, but i like it and the car handlles a lot better not that i lowered the back too and put my LCA's, panhard, and strut tower brace in and also my aluminum drive shaft! i also got new shocks and struts from a local tire place!

the color of the car from what it says on the reciept is BLURPLE it looks blue in the day and purple at night the car was this color when i bought it!
