First off, she's absolutely gorgeous! I think by your inference to the stance, you may feel that it sits a tad high? From what I recall, the Hotchkis package is around a 1" drop. It'll probably settle a bit, and the '67-8's are tough to get a real tucked look due to the round arches. The wheels are spot on for the car's style though, I like it!

You might cut a coil in the front and do a 1" lowering block in the back. I am in the same boat....mine is a '69 though and the fender design helps. My front sits higher than I would like, but the back is OK. I may cut a coil, I used Hotchkis 2" drop BBC springs since I have an iron headed Pontiac motor and it's heavy as sin.

Have you thought about a bolt in coilover conversion in the front and a set of DSE dropped springs in the rear?
You would get a better stance and gain much better handling at the same time with the new components. Not to mention it's very easy to do and the least expensive upgrade.

I might be biased though

Thanks for the compliment. Your Camaro looks great! I almost went with the same wheels - they look fantastic. What did you do to the front suspension to get the front wheels tucked so well?
