Re: Lowered the third gen (sportlines)

Yep exactly the same as mine. Looks much better IMO but speed bumps and un-even camber can be a problem at times. It's a small price for looking that good. Also your blue looks stunning!

Struts are silver so look like KYB GR2's. Nice stance!

Nice! Sportlines are my favorite. Make sure to post to the lowered thread so more people can see your ride.

Re: Lowered the third gen (sportlines)

Can you post some ground clearance shots? I'm debating the prokit vs sportlines and the main concern is how it'll clear driveways and speed bumps.

Re: Lowered the third gen (sportlines)

man i really want to lower my camaro. I want the sportlines but to me its not low enough considering I don't have ground effects. I've been told to cut my springs but I dont want to buy $200 springs, cut a coil, and ruin them. Any other ideas other than weight jacks and coilovers?

Re: Lowered the third gen (sportlines)

If you used between 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels, would there be any issues with tire rubbing, to slammed between the fender and the tire? Or would it look good?
