I have a 67 camaro ss with adjustable coilovers all around. I have them set as low as they go and im about 3/4 of an inch away from the stance I really want. What would be my next move from here? Do I put drop spindles up front or just leave it as is. Is it worth the trouble and am I looking at complications? I`m running a 20x8.5 front wheel. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Post up some pics. What lower control arms are you running? Some have a dropped pocket to allow a lower ride height. 2 inch drop spindles are generally bad news, there is a sticky about them on this forum if I remember right.

The ATS spindles have a 3/4" drop built in if I remember right and they have corrected geometry.

Could you use lighter springs?

I`m still running the stock lower control arms. I`ll try and find a couple of pics to post.

Make sure your shock is roughly centered in its travel at your final ride height. That is why I was suggesting a lower control arm with a dropped pocket, you can still have the shock centered at a lower ride height.

How far from the bump stop are you now?

Yes a set of lower control arms would probably do the trick. I`ll look at it this afternoon. I don`t know how close it is to the bump stop right now actually I`ll have to check it out.
