I have like 5" between the tires and the fenders so Is a 2" drop too much? And if not do I need caster camber plates? Or should I just stick with 1.5 drop

sounds good to me. I think 2" would be perfect.

I can be a pain in the ass at times liek when you want to work on it you can't fit under the damn thing and going over speed bumps but it looks good.

don't listen to that other guy he don't know what he's talking about look at that god awlful car that says it all

i have the intrax 2" drop springs on my 95 vert. everything else is stock up front. i have bbk uca/lca in back.

it is too low for me. i scrape like crazy over speed bumps and god forbid there should be a spot in the road where it comes up a couple inches between the tires ... it can hit the k-member and send the most bone jarring klunk through the whole car. every time it happens, my heart stops.

but it looks great.

I won't kid yeah, I sure do.
It's difficult. I hit everything at a 45 degree angle.
but it's so worth it, the scrapes aren't that bad
it's more like a gentle touch.

haha, even if you do scrape, its better than my car sitting 18 feet off the ground, like a damn 4x4. I can go over ANYTHING and not even worry about scraping.

it's true man, i was there a month ago.
and to be honest, i didn't think 1.5 inches was going to do it for me.
now after installing these springs, i feel like i was right!

Amen to that! i HATE slapping the front end of my car off a dip in the road, and you can feel the vibration all the way to the trunk... that's the only drawback, but i just need to take it slower.
how about if you get hydraulics, i will too lol!
