Talking 1LE Camaros on Apex 1.25" lowering springs

Here are some pictures that have been forwarded to us from several of our 1LE customers after installing Apex lowering springs.

Looks good. I guess there is no more cleaning of the wheel wells once you get it lowered because it's a pain at stock height to get back in there.

I'm a clean the wheel wells kinda dude also... Was thinking the same thing. I guess once I install these I could enlist the help of my 7yr old son with a son to get his arm in there with a sponge?

I like the look - A LOT, but what about performance? Ride?

I track my 1LE and having it lowered would be a big boost in cornering, but how do they compare to the stock springs?

Appreciate as much info as you can provide.

The wheels would definitely have to come off to get in there.

They ride and perform very well. They are slightly more firm but not hard or harsh in any way. With a lower center of gravity and increased rate you will have greater roll resistance in the corners.

Do you need anything else? Your store description says they'll work with the existing shocks/struts.

Just want to make sure before I order.

Nothing else is needed. It is a straight swap.
