After years of harassment since buying this car brand new in 2001 I finally got my car lowered!!! ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
It has Hotchkis springs and Koni SA shocks. Rides awesome. It still looks a little higher in the front but hopefully it will settle a little and even out. If not I can do a little more adjusting. Check out the before pics though; I think my car was the world record holder of highest stock suspension on an LS1 car!
Before:

Thanks guys. I think it looks MUCH better too!
skewba98z28 you should be thrilled with your results too. Yours sure is a high-roller like mine was. Love the white top on that car.
One is a state inspection sticker, the others are my Hot Rod Power Tour Long Hauler stickers...so they are staying

It is amazing how much the ride height of these cars varies stock. For some reason, it seems like more Camaros tend to be the extreme skyjackers.
Of course, your car looks MUCH better now, but the front looks like my car did stock. I guess you're not supposed to use the Koni lower perch with lowering springs, but that would get you where you need to be.
