So I just picked up a 02 camaro ss SLP 1LE
I would like to lower it a bit.


My only concern is this car comes equipped with koni double adjustable shocks..



I was planning on running the BMR 1-1/4 lowering springs.


Will they effect my koni shocks in anyway?

Car rides really nice now and dont want to effect them much.. I just want the lowered stance

Thank you

Check out Strano springs too. Koni's are awesome shocks to handle lowering spring. I'm on Strano springs with the Koni 4/3 single adjustable shocks...you'll probably have to adjust the shocks since you're losing some travel with lowering springs, but once you figure out where you want it, you'll be fine.

It has Koni double adjustable? What p/n are those? They're not the standard rebound-only style?

Car looks great.

I too had the Koni adjustable on my 96 Z28 1LE... I added the strano springs as well. My 99 SS hard top M6 car also came with the Koni Yellows from the factory. Truly the best riding, driving, handling 4th gen fobods i have owned.

I’m sure your aware that lowering springs will be a stiffer ride as shorter spring less travel so not as soft as a ride. But fbodies all look better lowered and GM should have made the camaro alittle lower stock since the vettes have always been low to the ground.

Wow I never knew fbodies came from the factory with anything other then orange shocks and Bilstein.

Could anyone tell me what the measurement is from the ground to the wheel openings for a stock suspension car?

I am just seeing your message now. I have a stock 11k miles 2002 1LE SS at home. I'll measure and get back to you.

Wow. I didn't know there was a SLP SS 1LE. What SLP pieces came on the car? Obviously you're car got the 1LE Konis instead of the SLP Bilsteins. (Which is a good thing) My 02 was neither a SLP or 1LE but I did add some Koni SA shocks and the perk its handling right up.

Sorry for taking so long, I forgot. I measured from the driveway to the fender edge right above the center of the wheel and it was 27 7/8 inches on all 4 corners. My car is 100% stock, including the F1 tires.

Is there a lower perch setting on the Front Koni's on your SS? 98-mid 2000 WS6 cars had 1LE springs which were 20% stiffer in front and progressive in the rear but didn't get the good Koni shocks.
