Other than the lowering springs ranging from $180-$300 don't know how much installation is. Need to ask Willie, Mike, and anyone else who's lowered their cars...Got a new look but I think if the Camaro's lowered with some GFX the look would become complete...

Lowering springs

Im all for lowering springs. I went with the eibach pro kit. $500-600 depending on sales. Came with 4 springs (dropped 1.5 front 1.4 rear ) and front and rear sway bars. Definately gives any car a meaner looking stance and improves cornering. Down side would be at low speeds if you hit a big bump or pothole you feel it all the way into your pancreas. I took darin for a test rider in my car before he made his purchase. Anyone wants the same just let me know .

Good job Kev, Mike I don't git it, I think your ride is the S---, But what do i know. I have the BMR springs and sway bars, Ordered from APEX for $500, included shipping. Installed by Extreme. The ride didn't suffer that much, feels like a true sports car. You guys are welcome to take a ride.

what's the installation cost?

you know me, I can always find a great deal on the parts; installs what worries me.

pros/cons about springs alone vs springs AND sway bars?
