help on lowering springs hey all, just wanted some feedback on which springs i should go with. I currently have sprotlines with stock shocks 
(i bought it unknowingly like that!!) and will be getting Koni SA's. I have dual exhaust with cutouts under the rear axle. I definately want to raise the camaro (99 z28) a bit and was thinking of:
1. eibach pro-kit
2. hotchkis
3. h&r
i want about a 1.5" drop (can this be done with hotchkis on the lower mounts?) the car is a daily driver so nothing that will ride too harsh, but will still handle well.
thanks!

I'd do the hotchkiss on the standard mounts. If you go to the lower mounts, you'll be way too low (probably sportline low or worse). The H&R's have rear springs that are a bit stiff for my tastes (I have H&R fronts, but I changed the rears to ground controls) and the rear is a bit low. So, I'd try the Hotchkiss for your application. I think you'll be pleased with the results (but use the stock, upper perch).
