Anybody got a set of 1" lowered springs & shocks for a 95 Z28 ?

As I live in speed hump city, I dont wanna drop it too much but after 19 years I think its time to change the stockers !

You don´t have to change the shocks for a 1" drop, unless they´re knackered or you want to upgrade.

Whats the options then Malc ?

I assumed after 19 years, they would be knackered ? Don't want to spend the dosh unless I have to. I'm going to change all the bushes, so thought I'd upgrade / replace the springs & shocks at the same time to stiffen it all up.
Having a quick look on ebay & Summit seems most springs start at 1.5" drop.

19 years, they are knackered for sure.
My original fronts were 16 years old when I dumped them, pressed the
rod into the body and it stayed there, no rebound at all.
The rears have been changed three times.

Bought replacements from RockAuto.

1.5 drop is sorta eyeball measuring, you´d be okay with that.

I bought Hotchkiss springs for mine, 1.5 too.
