hotchkis springs
Can someone tell me if 93 to 97 have the same springs as 98 to 02. Part numbers are 19830016 and 19930016. Will they work on my 93? A buddy got these four his 2000 camaro and never used them and can get em for cheap.

Here's the reply I just got for Hotchkis on the difference between the two.
"The front springs for the 98-02 Camaros will be shorter to make up for the lesser weight of the LS1 engine to achieve the same amount of drop. The rear springs are the same spring."
So.., your 93 will likely sit slightly lower up front than the advertised drop.

even 1" drop all around (verified by tape measure
before/after) the end result on my car was a
dragging-*** look that I ended up fixing by reverting
to stock rears & hose-mod (until by chance I found
some old isolator donuts that happened to fit, and
add as little or less height).

Good to hear that. 100.00 for a new set of springs. I was hoping it wasn't too good to be true. So what is the deal with shocks for 1" drop springs? Can a guy run a normal shock with these or do I have to upgrade?
