Ordered my new PFADT V6 Springs... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I JUST ordered some new V6 lowering springs from Apex Motorsports...

Any tips as to how to install them, where to install them, and anything you'd like to share? How much does an install typically cost?

I've NEVER lowered a car before and I'm a little nervous!

Well, I'd offer up a Saturday and tell you to bring it over and we'd put them in. But since you're in California........

It's really not hard to do if you decide to do it yourself.

Just make sure whoever does it, they make sure the spring isolators are flush with the strut and the end of the coil is bumped up right against it. Remember that

I wouldn't be nervous about the lowering, the camaro loves it. As for install cost, it will vary a lot, from a 6 pack and a pizza to several hundred dollars.

Youll love em, i do. The stance just makes the car look more sexy, haha. If i lived near i would say come over id help you. If youre somewhat mechanically inclinded you can do ot all yourself. Only thing you need to rent is spring compressor.

Also their customer service is amazing, anyone on the forum im sure can attest to that.

Don't hesitate to hit me up if you have any questions.

Don't be apprehensive... Drop springs are a really simple and great addition to the car. After a professional installation and alignment you will love your Camaro even more than you already do!

I just ordered my Pfadts from Apex also! The install is costing me a couple cases of Red Bull and some VIP access to a few clubs in Vegas. Haha! But my buddy plasti-dipped my wheels, and is installing my springs and Havoc Diffuser.

Thanks for your order as well. If you have VIP connections in Vegas we need to talk.
