reducing spring height will limit shock travel and will either coil bind or damage the shock for running it too low. if you want to lower the car you need to run a shorter shock and longest spring will give a softer ride.

Does anyone have a pic of a 68 camaro with g-link that sits low? And explain how it was achieved? I see some that are low but it sounds like something other than recommended parts are used in conjunction with the g-link....? Thanks

Frojoe sent me some great pics of how he raised the shock mounting cross bar and modified the trunk floor so it kept the shock in the middle of its travel. Maybe pm him to get the pics. Check this thread post #56 for him.

part of that issue is the higher wheel lip openings over the 69. Second gen firebird guys have the same issue. We had to go to a shorter coilover, but you better make sure your good on ground clearance.

This has been posted numerous times before but here it is again. DSE subframe and G-Link with 8-200 springs which allows for more adjustment down. See my previous post above.
