I’m trying to get somewhat of a budget together and decide what mods I can afford and in which order I want to do them. Lowering the car is going to be a MUST! A good stance changes the look of the car.

This is going to be my DD and I don’t plan on doing any more than the occasional run at the drag strip. I’m mostly going for the looks department and of course price is an issue. Coilovers look like they will be overkill and way out of my price range. So I’ll be sticking to Springs and maybe Sway bars.

In the past I’ve used Eibach and Hotchkis and had no problems with either. Looking at some pics I think the 1” drop of Eibach is not going to be enough. Haven’t seen any Hotchkis for the 2010 Camaro yet. I really like the DSE setup but they only sell the Springs/Sway Bar combo for about $950. I don’t want to drop that kind of money all at once and will probably just do Springs for now and Sways later on. After DSE I like either Pfadt or Pedders. Both of those sell just springs, look about the same ride height, and seem to be very knowledgeable and reputable companies.

Does anyone have any Pros/Cons over using either of these Springs? Where is the best place to purchase the Pfadt or Pedders springs?

Now for the Swaybar questions. I’m sure they would be nice to have but I’ve never had a car with updated Sways. Will they really make a noticeable handling difference? Won’t just the upgraded Springs make it handle better? I’m assuming if I can handle the Spring install that I should be able to handle the Sway install as well? I know an alignment is needed after the Spring install but what about after the Sway install? I’m assuming it doesn’t really need an alignment for just the Sways.

TIA for any comments or suggestions you can give.
