Default Camaro Lowering Springs question

1.25" or 1.5/1.6 drop? Running long tube headers with an ory that sinks up pretty well to the underbody of the car, just not sure what each drop looks like. Anyone have picture of there drops? Im mostly concerned about the wheel well height..Seeing the back of my tires when looking down at my car (stock ride height) drives me insane. I plan on going 18x10.5 deep dish C5's with 295/35/18's all around. (currently have 17x9.5 Torque thrust II's)

I say 1.5 or 1.6 drop springs. I'm on the BMR springs right now and I'm about to go with Sportlines and go even lower.

Currently on stock SS 10 spokes, but by tomorrow night I will be on eibach sportlines and some 18x10.5 +32 offset wheels.

And yes longtube headers. Currently I have no issues what so ever.

Mine is on strano springs. I believe they are 1.2" drop, correct me if I am wrong. Its the pewter SS, although the black z is also on strano springs. My ss has 18x10.5 c5 deep dishes on the back with 295's... Just to give you an idea... I have edelbrock victor series stepped headers with 3 1/2" collectors and a 3 inch TSP ORY pipe. It scrapes if I hit a steep spot quickly or at the wrong angle. I don't daily it and I know its limits. Just sonething you learn to live with but I wouldn't go lower than that honestly. Here are pics. My front wheels are 17x9.5 with 265's.








And why do you want 295's up front?????
