How many inches max can I lower LM without affecting the camber?

Post by atomiccorvair »

Im going to order custom lowered springs from Coil Spring Specialties for my LM coupe automatic 95hp no air conditioning. No cutting springs. How many inches max can I lower LM without affecting the camber? From stock height, can I lower 2.5" inches without affecting camber? Can I lower 3.0" inches without affecting camber? How low is too low? =)

Camber shouldn't be an issue. You will need an alignment done but I've never seen problems other than tire/fender clearance.

You can not lower it at all without effecting camber. Camber is however adjustable. What is the limit for lowering before you can not longer adjust camber into specs? Hmmm that is a good question...it is greater than 2" for sure as I have been there and had no trouble getting acceptable camber.
