Question springs pretty low

just got done with my shocks struts springs lca's and all that car sits way low to expect 1.2 drop, and I got a two lol. talking about x pipe is four inches off the ground if that. Does anyone have a y pipe ran closer out of the way that I still can run this suspension without dragging it all over town? lol

If he is sitting as low as he says, I would guess Sportline.

btw

Pro-kit (black) ~1.3" Drop, more in the rear if you have LS1 style with sag. LT1 style don't have the sag problem.

Sportline (red) ~2+ in drop easily.


Those springs are total ****, they are lower than the pro kit and have less spring rate to compensate for that loss of travel.

If you have sportlines, I suggest dumping them for a better set of springs like Strano or perhaps the LT1 Pro-Kit.
