Default Lowering springs on a vert?
I am looking to put lowering springs on my 98 camaro z28 convertible. Does anyone know of a spring set that will work? I called Eibach and they state that neither their Sportline or Pro-Kit will work on a convertible. Looking to drop an inch, maybe 1.2"

Thanks

Strano or BMR should work

Cool. I just picked up a set of SLP Bilstein shocks, new control arms, panhard bar, tires and Miro 111's coming soon so I wanted to do all of the work at one time.
