Default 69 springs and shocks question

Hello,

I need to replace the springs, leaf springs and shocks all around my 69 Camaro. I'm looking at rickscamaros.com and see that almost everything they're selling have 2" or 3" drop. So my question is if it's "normal" to have a 2" drop, or if I should go for the original height?

It has 15" wheels, and I would like the car to look aggressive. I will never ever put slicks on it!

It has a 350 smallblock.

Photos of cars with different setup is appreciated.

Thanks

Check in Summit Racing. The best product for the money is Hotchkis, hands down. The sell a complete kit for 67-69 Camaros for around $1400. I dont think it includes shocks. I have this kit for my 67 with competition engineering shocks. This will give you about a 1 1/2 drop over all and a killer stance with awesome handling and ride. Save up and do it right!

Great. Thanks for the tip. It was cheaper other places

Do you have any photos of your car? Would be nice to see the setup.

I'm still building my car, but here are some finished Camaro's with the same set up.
