Someone find me some lowering springs! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

A couple months ago I got my hands on a 2015 Black ZL1. I'm having trouble finding a good set of lowering springs.

I want either Pfadt or Peddlers, but it seems both companies are out of business. The lower the better for me. Looking for 1.25" drop in the front and the compliment drop in the rear.

Can anyone help me here>? or have a different set of springs available with the performance and reviews like the 2 above?

Thanks in advance.

Advanced Flow Engineering (AFE) sells PFADT Springs and now owns the brand, APEX also sells the same springs but under their name. The BMR springs are good too.

I have the PFADT springs and love the look but it only goes about 1 inch, compared to the BMR 1.25 drop springs you can barely tell a difference in height between the two brands.

The Pfadt springs are now being made and sold by Apex under their own brand name. Im not sure if this is still the case but I know when Apex first started making and selling them they even still had the Pfadt branding on them, mine do.

How much did the springs lower your car? Where did you buy the springs from? I looked at your photos and your car looks great. Thanks, Sam

It's a 1" drop

Leave it alone. The suspension is designed to work as a system! Do you think ANY of those aftermarket companies put in even 1% of the R&D that GM did getting the ZL1 to handle the way it does? I never can understand why a "look" wins out over engineering.
