Default LOWERING CONCERN

I HAVE A 2000 Z28 AND I AM INSTALLING XENON BODY KIT AND I JUST ORDERED LOWERING SPRING. I'AM WONDERING IF ANYBODY KNOWS IF IT IS GOING TO SIT TO LOW TO THE GROUND OR IF IT WILL SCRAPE.

I had an old F1 camaro that was lowered and had ground effects. Boy was it a pain to get it on the flatbed and pulling up driveways was always an adventure but nothing being careful can't take care of! (see my sig for pics of the F1)

love those drop pictures...the car in general is very tasty!
A more likely problem for the effects kit is being used to hanging your nose over the curb, you'll adjust quickly but need to remember where your front ends........that xeon will look real bad if you keep smacking it every time you park. With a decent drop your nose gfx will be way lower than curbs/parking stops.

My car is stock height and my front cheesy-*** ground effects are all torn up from curbs. I plan on removing them some day this summer. Problem is, as much as I hate the front GFX, I really like the side/back looks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
