any photos of new Camaros with lowering springs? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I wanted to see if anyone has installed lowering springs yet and if they have photos. Not sure if these are even available yet, but thought I'd ask. I know that Eibach's prokit and sportline versions are not available yet, but I plan on getting the prokit for a modest drop in ride height and think that this would give the Camaro and even more agressive stance and profile, and wanted to get a preview.

going twice...

well, would only be a prokit which is typically about 1 1/2" drop in the front and 1" in the back, not slammed or anything for sure.

I just found some: It said it was lowered with coilovers, which I have no clue what that is.

If any one would like to explain, that would be nice.

coilovers are basicly springs, shocks, struts all combinded into one unit. coil overs all u to pick ur own ride height aswell as ur damper settings and so forth. there pricy tho costing for low a $1300 to $2000.

anyone know about how this affect traction for the rear wheels? I know on a 4th gen if you lowered with springs you better do LCA's and a couple other things or your traction was F'd

the pedders guys would be they guys to talk to, But i did however talk to the guy from detroit speed, they lowered a tom henry car for rick hendrick. he claimed to get "amazing" results in his own words, by doing a set of springs and bigger sway bars. He said everything else they left stock and the car rode a drove great. I didnt get to ride in that day we saw them but the vette owner that was there that did get a ride seemed totally blown away by it.
