Default Best small drop setup (.5"-1.5") for T/A?

I was wondering what the best drop setup was for an ls1 T/A, and what kind of stuff do i need to stiffen up the chassis but not make the ride too uncomfortable. Thanks.

Hotchkis springs will drop it about 1" all around. That what I have and I like them a lot. They are a little stiff but bearable. DMS springs are a 1.3" drop, they are also widely used. You should get some new shocks along with the lowering springs too.

You should also get some sub-frame connectors to stiffen up the chassis.

sam strano told me you could keep your stock springs and get the adjustable konis and get a 3/4" drop with them....

BMR/Hotchkis will give you an inch, and SFC's are a must IMO. SFC's are the best susp mod i have done. shocks are good, but dont feel you haveta do them right when you lower the cr, but they do need to get replaced eventually.

look at stranos for some Bilstein HD's shocks
