How fast are u going when it happens? When something is really steep, I just go slower and it usually helps. One of the reasons I'm scared to install my long tubes is because I want to go lower. I want to get some coilovers and lower it more but at that point, the headers will probably scrape everywhere

Yea. My main reason I am hesitant is because when I move out the camaro could become a daily. I am not sure if I will be able to afford two cars

I am usually doing about 5 miles per hour and at a angle. Most of the time I am not on that side of town but its not like I never go anywhere. If i was lowered and parked in my dads spot at work I would scrape every where.

I had bbk long tubes and lowered on eibachs on my v6, and it was fine. I might have scrapped on a speed bump here and there. lol

Aren't the eibachs like a 1.2 inch drop? That's about what I'm at right now. And I want lower

Monchy36 · 10-03-2013, 01:54 PM

You guys are lucky! Only have to worry scraping on the road, in my case I can't lower it until I figure out why my front driver wheel rub and not the passenger... worst part is their other Camaros with the same set up and doesn't have problems...

still thinking between check the alignment or get adjustable front swaybar...

lscamaro · 10-03-2013, 01:58 PM

Its the alignment. If others aren't having this problem, the only variable is the alignment

Im debating about doing the Hotckhis 1" all around or the LSR 1" and 1.25" rear. What would you guys go with? whatever I do I don't want to ruin ride quality that much

lscamaro · 10-03-2013, 02:10 PM

Whatever u can get a better price on. I haven't heard anything on the LSR ones

pgustavson · 10-03-2013, 02:11 PM

I'm planning on the Hotckhis kit as they are the only ones that have one specifically for the convertible. Won't be until the spring that I'd do the install. After the SOLO cat back. After the Heritage grill. After finishing the kitchen remodel. After............

Yea I don't know if I want to do their sway or not. I might end up doing the LSR sways and doing the Hotckhis springs. I already have thier strut bar.
