Cool Lowered 4th Gen

Just finished adding lowering springs. 2" Drop Zone springs. Actual Drop was about 1 1/2 inches. Also went with Gabriel shocks while I was at it.

Been in CRock for about 11 years now. Colorado Natives are rare these days. Colorado Camaro Club anyone?

What a difference replacing the suspension, the car is much tighter now. I am considering looking into a Front Shock tower brace now.

What's your ground clearance now being lowered? The bf and I have been trying to figure out if mine is lowered, but we can't tell. I know she's a good 2" shorter than the 'bird that also goes to my school.

Measurement from ground to Center of Fender (Wheel Well):

Before: 27.5"
After: 26" and I am expecting is to settle just a bit more.

If I had the lower ground effects, I would probably say it would be too low, but without the ground effects it look great.

Also I have the V6, so I image a V8's added weight would bring it down even more(depending on springs).

Well I went out an measured. I got 26" for the front, and 27" for the rear. Is that considered lowered?
