sweet car. I never really thought to much about the ride height of the fbodys. I always had trouble with my 97 z28 with the hooker longtubes and clearance issues. I hated coming up on a speed bumb and having to creep over it.

Thanks for the comments about my car. I TOTALLY agree that it needs to be lowered. That is on the to do list of mods for it,but will have to come after the under hood mods are complete. How much would you lower the car? I had thought about 2" all the way around.

I wouldnt go more than 1"..it ends up being more like a 1.5" drop in the long run and with anything lower you sacrifice major ride comfort...just my opinion though.

What springs would you recommend to use. My last Z28 had Eibach springs on it and round really well I thought. I have heard a few bad things about the bmr springs.

I would do some research and check with owners about the ride quality and how much it dropped after about a year or so cause eventually the springs seat in a little more and the 1" they advertise becomes a little more. i love my BMR springs...but if i change these im gonna go with Lg springs.

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate that. Hey the dog is a PitBull. She is 2 years old and weighs in at around 120 lbs. Not to bad for a female. I really think that I probally will go with the eibach springs again like I did on my Z. Just because I had really good luck with them and they seemed to never really sag. I also just had the exhaust redone again today. I ran all 3" exhaust and used 40 chamber flomasters and got rid of the 80 series that I had on the car. Probally before the springs go under the car I am going to have to put a clutch in it. Since the 4.10 gears and the motor says up in the power bad the clutch is not feeling it at all!!! If any body needs a pitbull just let me know I have a real good friend that breeds them and see really knows what see is doing when it comes to pits. Thanks again Bryan
