I've never heard of a 3rdgen l;owering spring that wont work on an iroc or gta. What brand are the springs? Sounds like the incorrect springs.

Re: 82-92 Camaro / Firebird Lowering springs FOR SALE
They're Dropzone brand springs.
I thought the same thing.... Z-28, IROC, Trand Am, GTA... all the same car. But when we installed them the tire-to-fender gap went from 4" to about 1/4" !!! All I can say is I think these are for a "regular" V8 or V6 3rd Gen F-body.
So basically I'm thinking they would work great on a V8 or V6 RS Camaro.

Re: 82-92 Camaro / Firebird Lowering springs FOR SALE
Sounds like V6 springs then. Z28/GTA wouldn't be THAT much different than "other" V8 cars, like an RS/TA. Formulas maybe, but still heavier than a V6 car.
If your car had a 4" gap to begin with, I'd be wondering about the springs that were in there aready too.

Re: 82-92 Camaro / Firebird Lowering springs FOR SALE
Tell me about it. the car looked like it was getting ready for take-off !!
Looks like I'll be buying some Eibach springs... pro's or sportlines this time around.
If no one buys these, I'll be tossing them into the recycle bin.

Re: 82-92 Camaro / Firebird Lowering springs FOR SALE
If they dropped your car 3 3/4", I don't wanna know how high it sat! 
I only dropped mine just under 2" (i'm gonna low a bit lower still), in the front, & it is pretty low. Can't imagine it being almost 4" higher!

Re: 82-92 Camaro / Firebird Lowering springs FOR SALE
The original front tire to fender gap was right at 4". I'm telling you, the car looked like it was launching from a starting line just sitting there !
What springs did you use to get the 2" drop ?

Re: 82-92 Camaro / Firebird Lowering springs FOR SALE
Best part about Weight Jacks, is the adjustable ride height feature. If I decide it is too high or too low, simple turns of a wrench will change that without buying anything. Nor will it make the car ride stiffer or softer....just higher or lower.
