Is their a kit that I can get to do this? or will I have to buy 2 different lowering springs? I deffinatly dont want to cut my springs

Maybe 2 inch lowering dprings up front and ws6 springs in back?

:stupid:

how about you just lower your car 1 inch and be done with it.

WayFast84 07-16-2006 11:10 PM

Ive seen what my car looks lowered 1- 1/2 it doesnt look good
Id need to have it lowered like that for it to look good, remember I dont have ground effects

Ian 07-17-2006 08:09 AM

that camaro that you linked to doesnt have ground effects either.

thats a nice car sometimes people cut the stock springs or heat them up to get the car lowered

They don't call it the redneck rake for nothing. Don't do it the ghetto way get it done right the first time... coil overs.

unstable bob gable 09-02-2006 09:17 PM

Thats a good lookin' Camaro.

r0nin89 09-03-2006 01:03 AM

I gotta agree drop springs in the front and big tires in the back.

IROCZman15 09-04-2006 09:02 PM

or the REAL right way... and get some 2" drop spindles.. like i got

-they dont make them anymore, havent for years, and years...somehow 6 years ago, i found a set on ebay, snatched em up

search around, maybe u might get lucky and find a set... otherwise an eibach pro kit (2" drop) is allt hat you can do, dont cut springs

What size tires you have? with an 84 you will almost definately run into wheelwell clearance issues with anyhting over stock sizes, and maybe even the stock trans am sizes if you don't do more work to the car.

Drop spindles can be problems, at least on older cars - I can't speak to these goofy strut cars as much. A lot of guys report clearance issues with drop spindles and wide wheels - they hit the outer tie rod. It can also limit brake options.

Plus a drop spring will generally raise the outside of the LCA up, offering better camber change.

Ah, the first gen drop spindles! Yep, I've seen the same.:shock:

IROCZman15 09-05-2006 03:41 PM

well for my car, they work great, on HUGE bumps i can hear my 245's rub on the plastic inner fender part, but other than that, handling increased, stance is much better, and i went with 13" brakes, and PBR 2 piston calipers...(caliper mounts on spindles completley modified)

like i said, if u can find them, drop spindles are the best way to go.
