lowering help
 

i would like to lower my car. but don,t want to go to coilovers. is there someone that makes springs with different rates that would lower the car?

Re: lowering help
 

There are some bolt kits for the rear, and pad kits for the front to lower the car about 1-1.5". It does not increase the spring rate, AFAIK, though. So technically the car would be more likely to bottom out, etc. But I may be mistaken on this.

There are differing spring rate springs based on suspension options, something like a Z51 or Z07 spring might be firmer. I don't know if there's a big aftermarket selection of springs, as it's a rather unique design.

FWIW, my car with just the rear lowering bolts (done by the owner before me):

Vette Brakes and Products sells springs with virtually any rate you want. Their "sport" springs lowered my '94 by about 1 1/4 inch in front and 3/4 inch in the rear. Further rear lowering is easy with longer bolts.
