I am actually having the other issue I have 67 camaro 6.0/4l60e with 2 inch drop spindles tubular control arms and qa1 coil overs. I had to crank coil overs up almost all the way and still tucking tires. I need to find some different spindles stock height I think then I can adjust coil overs. Now my issue is finding stock height spindles that are a cast piece with bracket and steering built in. If I wanted drop spindles I can find them all day long. Maybe you can try different control arm and coil overs??

What are you using for front springs? I would think that any spring designed for an older, IRON engine, would be too stiff and/or too tall for a car with an LS engine....

In your case, you may just need a taller front spring....

I see that they make a coil spacer 1 inch and 2 inch would this work. Sorry no trying to steal you thread.
