Im looking to buy a 3 gen Camaro. I`v been looking at a 1984 z28 and 86/87 iroc-z. What im unnsure about is this: It looks as though the 84 is higer at the nose than the other two. Is there any difference in the ridehight of these cars or is it only the front spoiler that is lower on the 86/87`s that make them look lower to the ground... In that case... is it easy to change the front spoiler, or do i have to change the whole front????

Please help!
Ian

The ground effects in 82-84 were smaller than the later ones. I think they will only bolt to the bumper covers of the same year. Plus the rear bumper cover is molded so there is no changing that.
Compare the tire sizes and the hight of the wheel opening. That may give you an idea of if and why one sits higher.
Or for around a couple of hundred bucks new you can get some Eibach or other brand lowering springs.

the base model camaro's sit up about 1.5 inches higher than the z28/iroc models. lower, stiffer suspension, and some other extra things lower it, and the body kit makes it look lower
