Default Lowering springs.

Did a search and couldn't find an answer.

What are the best springs and will L/T's scrape w/the lowering springs?

Will I need to get different shocks to keep the car from bottoming out or the wheels slamming up in the fender?

Keep in mind I drive a Ford mustang so they have these issues, not sure if a ZO6 does/will.

You don't need springs to lower the car. It can be lowered somewhat on the stock bolts. If you want it even lower, then WCC sells lowering bolts to replace the stock ones. They give you more lowering capabilities. In either case an alignment is recommended(needed).

I see. So the traditional lowering of springs isn't required on these cars. That's awesome. thanks for the link.
