Hey Matt, your car does look pretty low. How much space do you have between the bump stop and control arm? Remember that the wheel travels twice as far as the control arm to the bump stop. So if you have 1" of room at the bump stop, you will have 2" of travel at the tire.
I would put a dab of grease on the bump stop or control arm and take it out for a drive, and when you get back check the dab of grease to see if you squished it (bottomed out).
Obviously bottoming out is not good for the suspension, but it does come with the territory of a lowered vehicle.
Drop spindles are considered a "No No" on first gen Camaros and third gen Novas since they can cause wheel-to-tie-rod problems.
Let us know what you find.
