Alright guys I know that someone on here has done this before and I have seen cars that I really like the way that they sit but don't know what suspension parts and springs they have used. I have a 67 Camaro and want to have the car ride height lowered. What I would like to go with is the Detroit Speed Engineering 2" or 3" drop in the rear and either a 1" or 2" (spring or spindle) drop in the front. I want to go with a 17" rim I know for sure, but don't have a clue of what size tires will fit with a drop like this. Do you have to have your car tubbed to go with a drop like this, because if that is the case I won't do it. Has anyone done this if so what size drop did they do and how did they do it. And what size tires did you use? And especially if you have some pictures of the ride height that would be great. I have found one on the internet which has a 3" drop in the rear and a 2" drop in the front, he has 18" rims but don't know the tire size or if it has been tubbed????? It is at the site so yall will know what I am looking at and the look I am trying to achieve. Thanks for the help.

not much help for your suspension ideas but maybe this link can lead you in the right direction for tires or at least give you a idea of what works stock, then you can work off it.

Judging by the angle of the lower control arms in the picture, that car must have 2" lowered spindles. That can be done if you stay with shorter tires which that one has. That car must ride pretty stiff in the rear though, sure looks like the tires are out of the wheelhouse or at least interfere with the quarter lip.

 

williesrepair....Nice info there...that is really useful stuff...Thanks.

 

williesrepair thanks for such good information. That is exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks

 

If you use 2inch drop spindles then you dont wanna use larger rims. They will hit the sterring rods.
