Guys with lowered cars, step in here.....

im putting in h&r's with a 1.25" drop and the only thing im worried about is the pacesetter y-pipe....i have to try and wiggle it (the pipe) closer to the floor and learn how to go over bumps on angles.....

the angle thing don't really work when you go over speed bumps and stuff for our cars...our wheelbase is too long, unless you have tons of room to whip her to almost a 45 degree angle. IT does work when going steep inclines though...I gotta attack my driveway at an angle or else I'll be leaving my bumpers and exhuast behind....

this is off topic but...were can i get a NEW air dam ?
are they bolted on ?
the previous owner might have gone off roding it dinged up badly...
wouldn't mind repacing it with a brand new one. i have lowering springs to and have no problems since mine is toast already...

It's a separate piece that is held on by about 8 screws. Easy to remove and replace. Try a junk yard. If that fails, one of the online discount GM parts dealers can help you. Shipping might be expensive enough to make a purchase at a more expensive local dealer an option.

My hawks Bilstein susp is about as low as you can get (the equivalent of cutting some coils off the stock Z28 susp and removing the bump-stops )

The tire to the fender lip was on average 1.5 -1.75 inches as this was difficult to measure...

Ground to fender lip measurments
Passenger Front - 26 7/16"
Driver Front - 26 5/8"
Passenger Rear - 26 9/16"
Driver Rear - 26 3/8"


After 3 years the stock bilstein suspension settled even more. I have no problem with leaving the front air dam there, as it was from the factory

The air dam is very flexible, and besides, that is where my front license plate "GRRRRR" is mounted. (kerms Idea)

I say leave it as it is )

I've really been wondering about this. Since the day I purchased the car on the new car lot back in 97, something about this car always seems to pop up as being different. The performance was better than other LT-1s that I had driven back then, now the suspension has me wondering as well. The car always had a little bit of a rake to the stance, more so when I swapped in a base T/A set of rear springs. I went out and measured....... and with 285/40/17s on a 9.5 inch wheel my ground to fender is 26.5 inches. I always thought that the front was pretty low already but never actually measured it. The rear is 28 inches. Yes folks, that's a drag type rake. The car seemed to hook a little better with those springs, but the extra 1/2 in height didn't seem to look too bad. I'm wondering what is up with the front springs. The car hasn't settled from what I remember, it appears to match my old photos of when I bought it, and I did buy it new with about 7 miles on the clock. I haven't touched the front springs or struts and she has 135K on her now. Still performs good. Now that I am lowering it, I am hoping to just use the rears to bring the back down to a much closer fender gap to match the front. I couldn't imagine dropping the front down much more than another 1/2 inch with a 285 tire.
