ive got LG springs and think the stance/ride is badass... but i also have konis so my ride of course will be better than anything with factory shocks...

Hmm well thanks for all the input guys.. I still haven't decided completely on which springs i'm going to buy yet.. But i'm thinking about getting Eibach pro-kit and getting shocks later on.. I don't have the money for the Strano/Hotchkis springs and koni shocks as everyone is recommending right now.

I'm using stock springs on mine and my lowered stance is similar to Hotchkis.

Only thing I replaced are the stock shocks with Konis S/A.

Looks great. That's what I'm going with. I didn't want more than 1" of drop since there's a lot of speed bumps where I live.

Thanks. I was going to get Strano's but at the time they were sold out and I just couldn't wait. I love the drop and it rides great with the Koni's.

Those LG springs looks quite nice. I dont understand why even after lowering springs a lot of F bodies still have a good ammount of gap remaining. I like that. Very minimal wheel/fender gap. Looks awesome.

i wouldnt do eibach's i had the pro kit and kyb agx and after about a year of driving it would constantly hit the bump stops then one of the rear struts blew causing the car to lean to one side and causing me to have to replace them. 2 inch drops make ground clearance a huge problem you will scrape on everything fyi

What all do you need to lower a camaro? Cause I have a 98 camaro z28 with corvette rims on it 18's in the back and 17's in the front and I didn know how low to go for the best look and performance. Do I just need springs or would I need anything else?

When you get lowering springs, do you have to add anything else to the car? A PHB? Is that required?

Technically no but when you lower your car the rear end sometimes shifts to the passenger side about an inch so people get an adjustable PHB to realign the rear end. But you can drive the car without if you want to wait to buy it when you have the money
