Guys, was wondering how low of front and rear spring travel can I go, I am swapping out my shocks & struts and swapping to lower springs 1/2, 1, 11/2 etc? I just bought my panhard and control arms and they are all unadjustable. Any advice? Thanks

If you're buying parts and lowering it, it makes the most sense to get an adjustable unit. I mean, if you're gonna do something, do it right. And if you're modding your car, you obviously like it, right? So would you really want to do anything half arsed to it and potentially cause damage? (rubbing on the inside could grind away the undercoat and make rust possible, while destroying the tire, and on the other side, could bite the fender lip)

Try exchanging the PHB for an adjustable unit and make sure your rear is centered at the new ride height, and have peace of mind knowing it's done right.

When I put the -1" Hotchkiss on, I set the adjustable
PHR to the same length as stock on the driveway and
never had to adjust it for centered-up. FWIW.

I put Eibach Sportlines on (2" drop) and it was visually obvious that it stuck out the side of the fender.

Anytime you lower one of these cars you should have the alignment checked, including the rear to make sure it's centered. GM build tolerances are not that consistent, so each car will lower differently to some extent.
