    I have the stock body kit for the 01's and my car is lowered at least 1.5". No problems at all. I just have to be careful about where I am driving and what I am driving over.

          My car is lowered w/ a body kit. It is a conservative one inch drop and there are no problems with the stock body kit.

          If you have an aftermarket body kit with a large front fascia, be careful - that would be the only spot that will be touching the ground. Other than that, your cat will be hitting the ground before your body kit will.

                i dont like the WW kit. im a xenon man. you can easily dirve around everyday of your life with a body kit and your car lowered. you just have to get used to the clearence and adjust your driving to it. no problem, just something that goes along with having a camaro

                  my car has the w68 body kit from the factory, and the car is lowered and the roads here are pretty bad. It is gonna scratch almost on a daily basis, and on some speed bumps no matter how slow or even at an angle, the car scratches while going over the bump cuz its too low. it just depends on how many people are in the car. I actually removed the front part of body kit because i couldn't even get it up the driveway!! but thats cuz we have a really high driveway, not sure y they built it like that but oh wells. if u always have your car full of friends, i wouldn't recommend it, cuz with their weight it'll scratch bad sometimes (it sounds bad and everyone starts laughing). if not, then go for it, just take it slow and u should be fine
