Opinions on stance--pics added
 
3 Attachment(s)
Value your guys' opinions, wondering what your thoughts were on my Camaro's stance. I'm not sure if I'm completely happy with the current stance. Quick rundown on suspension mods.
KYB shocks/struts
Spohn - Swaybars, Lower Control Arms, Panhard bar
Hotchkis lowering springs
Moog components
TDS Wonderbar
Edelbrock strut tower brace
Plan to change to tubular A-Arms shortly

Couple pics took few weeks ago.

i think it would look better like an inch lower both front a rear to close up the tire to fender gap... youll probably have to shorten your air dam but thats really not any work, mine on my 93 TA scrapes everything but imo worth it for the look and its just the air dam that hidden under the car any ways.

It's sitting nice and level. How much shock travel do you have left?

I think most cars look better slightly lower in the front, maybe an inch or an inch and a half...

X2 on the "level" --- which to me says --- it has no stance.

Remember you have TWO ends to play with --- so up a half inch in back and down a half inch in front... would make a difference....

OR

Do you want to get in the weeds?

You didn't say what stance you're looking for.

I drove a third gen for years and I can't imagine going much lower with the front spoiler. If you do go lower, maybe a 1/2 inch in the front. It would looks great if you could go down an inch in the back and 1.5 inches in the front, but I just don't see how you could drive it on the streets.

I agree with these guys. It looks nice and level, but if you could bring it down a bit, it would look much better.
Good luck man!:thumbsup:

Todd, I honestly am not sure how much travel I have left. It rides pretty good right now, not too rigid. Can tell you that I have KYB shocks/struts, but they are non-adjustable. The Hotchkis springs are all 1-inch drop. The wheels are 17-inch wheels.

Thanks for the input guys. I should have said something about what I'm looking for. My car is garage kept and not a daily driver, that being said I drive it as much as I can on the weekends and then back to Iowa once a year. I would like to try some SCCA events if possible because I really want to auto-x it to see what it can do.
I'm thinking like most of you said, maybe another inch lower front/rear. Would I sacrifice drivability though? I could switch to Eibach springs and probably get about another 3/4 inch lower. Other options would be coilover conversion or Ridetech, which would definitely be alot more expensive right now.
Greg, I like the in the weed stance, but those types of stances on third-gens tends to make the car not very driveable. My Camaro needs to be driveable. Trying to find a happy-medium I guess.

Car looks good and practical for what you want to do with it,I say go out and enjoy yourself.:yes:

Looks clean and functional if that makes sense? It is not overstated and subtle, more drop in the front 1 inch may give ia more agressive look but sometimes less is more.
