Ground effects or lowered? I am a new camaro owner so i dont know to much... i was wondering what would be better to do to my car..i have a 96 camaro basic..so should i get ground effects for it and if so which kind? or should i lower it? and if so how would i go about it (basically what i need to lower it and how low should i drop it?) i was planning on putting c6 motorsports on them.. 18x9.5 and 19x10..i appriciate any info...thanx..
lower it. nothin looks worse on these cars than aftermarket wheels with a HUGE fendergap. theres plenty of kits out there, just find one you like i say around 2 inch drop. you cang et away with just swapping the springs, but a lot of people change out the shocks too. and an adjustable panhard bar will be needed to recenter the rearend bc when you drop it the rearend shifts to the passenger side about an inch.
SLAM IT!!!!With those wheels I would run the Hotchkis lowering kit, it will give it a great looking stance and pretty good ride quality. I believe it will lower it about 1.5"......Correct me if I'm wrong guys. IMO I dont like ground effects on F-Body's, looks a little too ricey for me.......Some can pull it off with certain themes, but other than that, i would say lower it.

It would be much better for ya to invest money on some good springs and shocks for the looks, if that's what you are looking for, but you will also get a better ride quality...2 improvements in 1 mod.

lower it first then if you find some you like put the ground effects. I know other people will want you to look like them and tell you different. If you do decide on ground effects get something simple. Just remember its your car do whatever you want to do with it. Do what makes you happy. If you do what people tell you. You'll probably regret it down the road.
Don't "Slam It". Use a nice 1.5" front/ 1" rear lowering kit. Looks pretty good. After that, depending on where you live, the car becomes undriveable. Some of the inclines and dips here in Orlando are pretty bad. I don't know where you live Funkmasta, but lower WISELY.
And BTW, the body kits on these cars is Ultra Rice. Stay away from it.
