Hotchkis springs are the way to go, great ride quality and awesome handling. Anything more than an inch drop on the stock struts and expect to eventually blow out a strut. If anyone wants to be lower than an inch go with coilovers.

The BMR kit is what I am running. Super easy to install and as mentioned beofre the ride is a bit stiffer but well worth the look.

Which 1" lowering spring would be closest to factory ride as far as comfort?

I believe Dunerider swapped out his Eibach's for the Hotchkis and picked up his speed in an autocross as well as making his wife happy again in daily driving situations. |

And Hotchkis makes a set specifically for the convertible. Any other brand will drop you more than 1". Been driving for 3 days now on mine. Don't notice any difference in ride quality.

I have yet to get mine put on. The weather has been crappy here and my Camaro will stay in the garage until it breaks. I can't wait to get them installed. Maybe I'll make an appointment in a couple of weeks.
