Default will this be okay?

so i decided to take my car back to stock height....i couldn't seem to find any lt1 struts and springs, but i got a decent deal on some ls1 struts and springs and rear springs. these should work fine on my 97 lt1 z correct? i know it should lower it maybe .5" or so...but other then that it will be ok right?


thanks for any input


Nathan

Yes I believe that will be ok but someone correct me if I am wrong.

But if you dont mind me asking, why did you sell your 98 ls1 Z28 and then later get a 97 lt1 Z28...it seem like you went backwards??

LS1 stuff is softer in the front, so youre going to get a slightly lower stance in the front.

Spuds is right, your LT1 motor is a decent bit heavier than an LS1 so you will have more of a stacked look.
