Well its going to be more than a few hundred bucks.

Konis SA 4/4
Sams front and rear bars
Strano Springs
UMI Double adju panhard
UMI Double adju LCA

That should get you where you want hopefully. But I have no details. No goals etc, so its hard to tell you where you need to go aka what direction. If you want a whole setup I would call sam instead of typing a message on this board, sam will need DETAILS as well. And thats better suited for the phone.

If your not drag racing the above setup is very good. If drag racing you want maybe another set up.

NEVER IMHO drop these cars 2 inches. Not enough supesion travel.

Two inches is kind of pushing it. You will have little to no suspension travel left which means you will be on your bumpstops often. You'd need a really really stiff springrate to keep you off the stops. Is it even possible?

That being said, some people are getting decent drops with DMS springs and Sportline springs. I would never want my Camaro that low. I think the people that are this low are sacrificing a bit of ride quality and don't mind it. It's all personal preference.

thosewhohatemecreat! We need to *talk*.

Here's what I know:
-You have some money (how much I don't know).
-We've spoken before and you trust me (which is good).
-You want to lower the car 2", which is too much IMHO for anything but looks.
-That's about it.

I have so little information I couldn't begin to quote you. And even if I could send you pricing, I don't know your name, address or any shipping information.

If we talked before, we'll have to talk again.
