Well one thing you can do online is go find hotchkis springs for your car (someone who sells them) and see what their "estimated" drop is.
It "looks" like it might be 1.5" but can't be sure.
If your really interested, take a tape measure with you to a dealership, find a camaro sitting around and measure from the ground to the fender lip. Then do the same on your car. Subtract the difference and thats your drop. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
addition: Since you lowered your car, have you thought to check if your rearend is centered? I noticed in your pics you don't have an adjustable panhard rod. Your rearend is probubly sitting towards the drivers side. Just trying to help. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
