I have three different sets of springs. The original 83 GT springs with a coil cut, for K/S, and now an uncut 90 GT set for L/S, and a set from a Faimont wagon. The wagon springs were way too much for L weight.

The smallest tires ever on the car were Goodyear 28" but that has been many years ago, and with 5.13 gears. When I decided to do the bodywork and paint is when I was able to go to the 29.5 stick MT's. Unless you put a 9" in it you are screwed with gear selection. Also only street gears are available for the 8.8, which I have only had 2 sets in the car. The pinion gear stress fractures and starts cracking. High RPM launches and having the clutch set too tight doesn't help their life span.

For gears, Motive sells a lightened 8.8 set, welding the tubes to the center section is not a absolute have to deal, but highly recommended. Installing an LPW rear cover to preload the bearing caps, you may already have one on the Camero. An 8.8 and 12 bolt are very similar in design.
