if you don't have cash for the coil overs just throw V6 springs on the front. the rate is very similar to the morosso springs, you can pick them up for a fraction of the cost, and you won't have to trim/cut them down to get the ride height you want.
save the money from teh trick front springs and put it towards anotehr suspension/chassis component

Unfortunately, all of the non-gfx camaro noses have slots, but the earlier ones (like the picture) were larger than the later ones.

Sorry for the hijack, but how much will V6 springs drop the front..say, on the iroc? When the front tires are spent I want to get maybe a 255/40 or something similar and keep the rears at 275. I'd like a little bit of a rake stance, but not too much and I also have to worry about my long tubes, that's mainly why I'm not lowering the whole thing. Or should I just not bother with front V6 springs?

I have hooker super comps and the mufflex off-road (no cat) y-pipe. The y-pipe was like 275 or so, but it's made specifically to fit the hooker super comp LT's on the thirdgen. Jeanne-Marie and I installed the headers and y-pipe.

are you only interested in the lowering or are you still concerned with teh handling of the car? full weight car with V6 springs in front and V8 springs in the rear is going to handle like garbage.
it would prolly drop the front of the car an inch or so, guesstimate. along with the shorter tire you would be looking at a totally redneck style rake.
if you have 275/45's all around now, just go to a 255/45 or 275/40. that would drop about 1/2 inch, that sounds more like the stance you are going for, jsut a little rake.
