Default Drop Springs

Currently my 98 camaro is sitting on strano 1.5" lowering springs. I want it lower, however im unsure what to do. Does anyone make 2.5" drop springs, what would my other options be ? Thanks

Eibach Sportlines? I don't think they're a 2.5" drop but they'll put it pretty damn low.

BTW, the car in my sig is on sportlines. Putting it back up to stock because, as you can see in the background, I don't drive on very smooth roads.

I would think that with a 2.5" drop, you have maybe about a half inch of suspension travel left, if that much. You'd spend most of your drive hard on the bumpstops. IIRC, the Eibach ProKit was advertised as a 1.30" drop and their Sportlines were 1.8"

If you have Koni SA's up front do the Upper Mount Mod, and put the lower spring seat snap ring in the lower grove, and do the hose mod in the rear, all with the Strano springs.

I am, I played a lot of AJGA events and played DIII golf for Roanoke College before I graduated a couple years ago. Good to meet another player on the forums

Op if you really wanna slam the bitch look for some Ground Control coilovers or a set of LG (2" drop) springs... The LG are a stiff spring so you won't be on the bumpstops all the time but are hard to find because they haven't been made in 3 years or so.....
