So curtis,

Your rear end is only lowered 1 1/4'' with the CAT-5?

At first it was about that. After it sat for awhile it was more like 1.5 to 1 3/4".

Here's a list and the part numbers for everything I used.

GW Tubular upper control arms w/ del-a-lum bushings
CTA-79A

Lower control arm del-a-lum bushings 1013

L-2CAT5 performance leaf springs (road racing shackles included)

GW Mono to multi leaf conversion kit 1035

DSE stock lower shock plates L/R 040302R, 040302L

Stock Replacement U-bolts 7/16" 20x6 3/4 w/nuts 040703

Not sure which of our site sponsors carries GW. I bought all my parts from ATS as they where local at the time. Here's the link for the GW site.

As for your front springs. I would recommend measuring from the highest point in the front fender to the top of the tire. See how much of an opening you have and go from there. Then it all depends on what spring rate you get as to how much they will drop. What engine do you have?

Right now it has a 400SB chevy motor in it. Do you think 2" drop springs from DSE would be enough?

It's cool. I didnt mind seeing more pix myself. Did you need to have the rear minitubbed to get the 10 inch wheel on there?

Drop Springs for Camaros

http://www.hotchkis.net/_uploaded_fi...3_f_r_drop.jpg

If you want a dramatic difference, I second the suggestion for 3" drop kits. Hotchkis now offers a full 3" drop TVS with springs, leaf springs and sway bars for the perfect stance and improved handling.

All the lowering springs are also available individually. For a closer to stock ride height, we offer a 2" drop kit for both front and rear.
