Default Lowering the Back

Looking to drop my 2000 Z28 in the back. What does everybody use brandwise and is there anything wrong with it, Ive heard that it can mess up the pinion angle? Is that true? I just want to basically level the car out.

Thanks

If you just want to drop the rear of the car and level it up a bit... Alot of folks take out the rear spring spacer and then thread a short piece of rubber hose on the top of the spring for insulation. This is good for a little over .5" drop in the rear from what I hear.
Good luck
Dave
