  • Lowering Questions?

    I have a 99 3.8L Camaro. I just put 18 x 8.5 Arelli Jovan's w/ 245/40/18 tires. I want to cut out the wheel well gap by lowering. I know very little about this and need some help. I have heard the Eibach sportlines are good springs and i was considering getting those. Do i need anything else other than springs? Do the same springs work both for V8's and V6's? Where is the best place to buy springs and whatever else(if anything) is needed?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    You should replace your shocks with something capable of handling the lower and stiffer springs. Bilstein HD, Sam Srano revalved Bilsteins, or KYB AGXs are about the only way to go, with the revalves being the best option at around $450 for all 4.

    Sportline springs are insanely low, and they are not stiff enough for their height. On a street car, I would never run them. They are "show car" springs for a reason. Get the Pro-kit if you want to lower the car, I think you'll be satisfied.

    You can buy the springs and shocks from most of our sponsors, just check around.

        Check the tech database...I'm pretty sure they have #'s in there.
