    Raise your car back up or go slower...maybe you could get some stiffer shocks too.

          Thanks bros. I think I may have messed up my shocks? But I will check out the exsust and I dont think its the jounch bumpers, the instructions said I didnt have to trim them, also It just as of latley my car is bottoming out and makeing werd sounds. When I first had the springs and shocks installed along with wheels and tires, I hadn't had any problems. I just wounder if the SFC are not right . they were installed the other day and at first only the front was welded and rear was bolted, but I had the rear welded later but I dont know if the set up was correct. only the camaro gods know I guess. ride on bros..

            I think I found the problem. I seemed to have bad ball joints in the control arm, uper and lower, probley worn out from upgraded stuff and driveing pretty hard on the car. So I am getting fixed and hopefully I wont have any problems for awhile. Thanks again camaro folks for your help and understanding..Gman211203

              A bad ball joint wouldnt contribute to you bottoming out all the time. Its just because you lowered your car. I lowered mine, and I cannot go over a speed bump, without my exhaust scrapping. Just the facts of life. Good luck. ;)

I changed my front end links with some prothan end links and I had my allignment corrected and I don't bottom out continueiously anymore. I do want to thank you guys again for your addvise and humurious remarks, And I will continue to try to spell better and slow down on the highway. Thanks Gman211203
