Lets see ur lowered Camaro
 

Please give the name and part # for the springs or coil-overs and final impressions of ride quality, body-roll and any other details

Here is ours on H&R springs. No part number but they are the only springs they offer. Sportier than stock but not to aggressive.

That looks perfect Indp.:thumbsup:

I said it before and I'll say it again. GORGEOUS CAR!!:drinking:

Didn't want mine lowered too much. Vogtland Racing lowering Springs - just about ready for production & sale :) I like the looks, I like the feel. It is a little firmer, but I like that. She feels like she hugs the road a little better. A little over a 1" drop.

gawd indpowr I love your rims!

Michael_Js that looks great. How much did that cost, and how long did the install take?

GOOD THREAD, LOOK FORWARD TO THE PICS TO COME

Geez, quit posting pics of your car - my keyboard can't take anymore drool on it. :drool:

Here ya go

Pfadt racing all the way!


Andy

geez they all look awesome.

Well, the install took about 2 1/2 hours and the price was more than right - free! It was the 2nd set of springs Vogtland made for the 2010 Camaro and I was their 2nd test car. The President/owner of the North America office, who is also the engineer, installed the springs. I'm very happy with them!

Also, to note, the front tires/wheels are the same as the rear - P275/40ZR20 & 20 x 9on all 4 corners :)

Thanks!
Michael J.

All of these lowered Camaros look great! Nice job everyone.

Indo - Any issues with the H&Rs and staggered fit wheels? Are those 20x10 on the rear? Did you cut your bumpstops?

Not sure of the part number(s), but these are Pedder's Xa adjustable coilovers. I got them from another forum member - mistercamaro69.
The ride quality is very similar to stock, maybe just a little tighter, at the settings i'm using now but this is adjustable.
The body roll is practically none - but I also installed Pfadt sway bars at the same time as the coilovers.
The best part with the coilovers though is having the car corner balanced. After scaling, the car feels very neutral and somehow lighter. This seems to really improve the handling and fun factor.
The car is dropped about 1.5" or so, corner balanced, and aligned with a little negative camber.

Thanks for all the compliments.

No issues at all and this is a DD.
Fronts are 22x9
Rears are 22x10.5

Also, it is lowered 1.4 F and 1.3 R

You know that you can go lower to get the best handling out of the car,
This is my car on the Pedders coilovers.

Great pic's and keep them comming, all these cars look sick. I love the stock 20's when the car is lowered. Anybody running the stock 20's with Nitto NT-555R "drag radial" 275/35/20 rear tires ?

WOW !!! Now thats a perfect stance and those 22's put it over the top

Here is my 2SS RS SIM when it was lowered - I did however take the springs off until I get a set of wheels that I think look better on the lowered ride height.

DSE 1.5" drop

Very cool Todd!
What wheels did you go with? And post pics please!!:thumbsup::drinking:

man that is a hot looking car!


here's some pics of mine below--it's an Eibach pro-kit set (1" all around) for the SS. Doesn't significantly impact ride quality, handles great, not too extreme.

Great looking cars !!!

Indo - that blue is stunning. Is that original color ? What tire size and offset are you running ? That is THE stance I'm looking for. Any idea the weight penalty for that wheel/tire combo ? I've seen posts saying stock 20" is about 65-70 lbs.

Camaro692 - what wheel/tire combo are you running ? I'm afraid of 22" since they're so huge you mainly run into truck wheels and tires.

Great pics guys.

Iam running Lexani LX15's in 20x10 rear and 20x8.5 front. I own the tire shop my car is in front of so I have tried many tire combos. The tires on the car now are perfect, they were just put on today, 5 min before the pic was taken! They are nitto INVO 275/35r20 front and 295/35r20 rears. The pic is from a cell phone check in tomorrow and i will have cleaned the wheels and good camera pics

Can't wait for detailed photos. With so much experience on your own car and others, I'm curious about offset details, weight, etc. Also curious why you stuck with 20" instead of 22".

Which springs did you use?

I used the Eibach - I really liked how they came out but I did not like how they looked with the factory wheels. Once I locate a set of wheels I like I will out them back on.

I like the looks of the eibachs. Just right, not too low.

i agree 100%

Yes, it is ABM. Tires are 265/30/22 and 295/25/22 Do not know my offset.

There is non, wheels weigh the same as stock, 28lbs front and 32lbs rear. But, it comes at a price. Light weight and larger are not cheap.

whats the labor charge to get this done or can you do it yourself?

Springs are pretty easy to install yourself if your careful.

Can anyone give me a logical or even practical reason to lower your car? Anyone? :popcorn:

looking for a fight, huh ???

Because it looks a thousand times better! Nothing like a car that looks like a 4x4:barf:

plus there's this little added benefit called better handling.

Other than those two pointless reasons there is no need to lower you car. :respekt:

if your really serious, which i doubt, there are 2 reasons, handling & appearance. if you dont like it then you can go to the 4+4 camaro thread!!!!

Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :chevy:

So by 4 x 4 you are referring to cars that are of normal height?

And having your tires just millimeters from the housing gives you better handling?

I guess I don't get it but then again I really don't care.

I also would like to know why certain groups of people wear their pants down below their ass? ;)

Really tradosaurus???? The 5th gen camaro is way way way too high from the factory. Seriously they look like a 4x4. Even a mild 1" drop makes the car look like a sports car

MTI lowering springs and sways.. handling is way improved and the ride is very close to stock.. no body roll is pretty sweet! ha

Well I can still see some space between the tire and the wheel well. This isn't a 4 x 4 thread you know. :sm0:

Seriously it looks good. How much on average to lower a Camaro?

to each their own guys....i personally like the look of the lowered camaro, but I also like not having to worry about messing up the front end on speedbumps and parking blocks...so ill leave mine alone. Now if this was just a playtoy car....i more than likely would drop it an inch to and inch & an half, but its a daily driver for me. ;-)
