My 00 Z28 has 118k on it, time for new stuff, i was looking into Koni Sport shocks, and H&R lowering spring(shud bring me down around 1.5") would this be a good set up? The car is my daily driver, but I don't mind a stiffer ride, I got too much fender gap for my liking as of now!

No I haven't I just quickly looked last night. I don't want too big of a drop cuz my exhaust is pretty low and I don't wanna scrape. So I was thinking like 1.3-1.5 max.

Strano and BMR are both a 1.25 drop

I have H&Rs on my car, and the front sits pretty low-it looks and performs great, just be prepard to drive a little carefully (not as bad as Eibach Sportlines) and the rear fender gap is much better than stock! Stranos I hear are amazing for performance (not to say H&Rs don't!), but don't drop quite as much as some other springs, including H&Rs. Just depends on what you want most
