with out buying adj. shocks or different springs you can look into taking your spring isolater out and doing the hose mod. what kind of rear end do you have?

Here's my car on 275's! I'd just take the spring isolator out like others have said. My car has the spring isolator out an also 1 coil cut off of the stock spring. For future reference, cars often won't hook after lowering because the lower control arm angle changed along with other angles. If you lower it any further than the spring isolator mod you'll need to get some sort of lower control arm relocation bracket, a adjustable panhard (to center the rearend), and a adjustable torque arm (to correct pinion angle). This is about as low as you can go with a 12 bolt otherwise the rearend hits the tank.

I don't know if you mean me but here's one from the front. Like I told the OP some things will need to be done in order to lower the car and have it work. My car sits at 27" to the fenderwell front and back.

looks good. i just put some 15's on mine and the rear sets high as well with stock springs. just wanted to see what it would look like with a coil cut, as thats what i was going to do.

I'd start with a half coil and work your way down! My car is fairly light (2600-2700 without me) and a coil might be lower on a full weight car. My car shot up another inch or so when I took weight out.

I went with these from Wolfe Racecraft...


Tried 10" springs and it was too low with 150# rate... ordered some 12" springs should be in today.

That's a nice setup! I have the TRZ setup waiting to be installed and the only difference is the adjustment is on the rearend side.

Just a heads up. If you lower the back you may have an issue with the tire contacting the inner fender. I just got done mini-tubbing mine so I could drop it down. I had to beat the heck out of the wheel wells just to do the hose mod and couldn't go any lower. I have a Firebird though, and think the Camaro may have a bit more room.

I have more issues with torque arm bracket hitting the tunnel than the tires to fenders...

alright cool. thanks for the advise. ill try that then.

I believe they have the same amount of room as far as the inner fenderwell goes. I have a 275/60 with stock wheel wells and have plenty of room all the way around the tire. I run a 7.5" backspace wheel if that makes any difference. However, 325's at stock ride height wouldn't fit and hit everywhere including the control arm. The only issue I currently have is the tank is fairly close to the rearend cover.

I run the 15x10 w/ 7.5 backspace as well, but with a 28x10.5 ET Drag. I am sure the radial is narrower but just wanted to give the OP the heads up to check clearance there. It would suck to cut the springs and then realize it won't work when the tires rub on the inside.
