Is a hotchkis 3” drop too much on a 67 Camaro

[Nwl3_21]

I plan to run 275/35-18’s and 235/40-18’s on 8 and 9.5 wide wheels. Is the hotchkis TVS 80035 3” front and rear drop too much drop? Should I go with the 1.5” rear, 2” front?

I ran the 2" drop spring on the rear of my last 67. Stance was good. I did roll the fender lip though to insure there wouldn't be any contact just to be safe.

My vote: I went with 1.5" drop Hotchkis rear springs that way I could add a spacer between the spring and the rear end mount to fine tune the stance. If you go 3" that's it no adjustment other than air shocks. :eek::superhack: Don't get me wrong 3" looks good but you really need to make sure you have your wheel size and tire selection down pat for wheel well clearance.
The fronts I used 2" drop though I'm using a aluminum head BBC so basically same as SBC springs.

^^^ this. I went with 1.5" drop Hotchkis springs, and added 0.5" lowering blocks.

I did 3" on my 68, worked out perfect for me, but like posted above go 1.5" just in case so you have some room to play.
