Default Slammed/lowered camaros?

Anyone have their car dropped pretty low? got any pics? and how does it do over bumps and stuff?

Thinking about doing a big drop on my car so i'm just looking for some info. Not trying lower it so low that i need to swerve over the smallest cracks in the road though

Here's my new car. I got it already lowered and really like the stance. It does scrape some over larger bumps/train tracks but that's mostly due to the odd SFC's on it. They seem to hang lower in the back and really dig into the ground on the larger bumps.

On the flip side, I can take a corner at nearly 50 and not chirp a tire.

Unfortunately I have no clue. I just got it from a member here and he did all the work to it. I can say that the springs are a light blue color with stock struts up front and competition engineering shocks out back.

Ebach Prokit. Just gotta be careful when I go over speed bumps and have to take driveways at an angle. Had to roll the rear fenders a bit to fit my 295's. But that's it. But I can take tight turns like a moth@r*ucker!!










In this pic, you can see where the tire used to rub

PERFECT Z28: What springs are those?? Any pictures of the interior? That stance is, well, perfect. Makes me realize how much I need springs.
