Haha.. I was just about to say "lowering party at my house" lol...

Seriously, what do you guys/ gals think? Springs alone okay (probably 1inch drop), or are coilovers a must? I though I saw coilovers for around $1K, but maybe they are not good brands?

I have had lowered cars in the past and never used coilovers, I just keep being told that coilovers would be a much better ride. Plus I think with coilovers I could dial in the pefect "hella-flush"

I will say that springs have a very decent ride in the camaro, unlike my GTO.
Coilovers would be best, but the ride doesn't suffer much at all with springs, I went with pedders..

Thanks for the info. I might start looking at just springs as it looks like they could save me a bundle.... Did you install yours or take them to a shop?

It made for a good excuse to get Inn and Out burger and shop at the many Phoenix malls...

Mike and the boys at Loud Pedal Motorsports nearby Phoenix ordered the springs for me and did the install...

One of the reasons I went with Pedders was because thier springs don't require the bumpstops to be cut like some of the others.

Well, I got a couple of boxes in at work today.... yay..

First up: Skip shift eliminator. While I can usually just hit the gas to go around this, it sure is annoying and for $17 it will be really nice to not have to go into Fourth when I am stuck behind those slow cars...



Up next my NoWeeds is completed... Although honestly I am not sure I really want this anymore? It will be nice to sound like a muscle car, I think I am just a little worried about loosing power as my Corsa does a really good job.




I should have a few more boxes of goodies coming next week as well.. It is going to be a great summer that I can say for sure.

Thanks Beth - that might just be the positive reinforcement I need to go forward with them

I think the big thing is that I only heard them the one time one your car and I have already forgotten..... Well, they are here now so I might as well put em on lol...

I think in reality I am just more exited about some other things I have coming in soon so the noweeds has slightly fallen on my excite-o-meter

Thanks Andre... I have really enjoyed watching all your videos (with sound lol). Hopefully here soon I can provide a few for you as well. I still will not be even close to keeping up with your ride (or any of them from what I can tell), but I do have some plans to at least try and make top 15 in ABQ...lol... There are some amazing Camaro's here in the 505.

oh and I love the license plate and Flag you have BTW.. Here is a pic of me and my little girl, Im sure you see what I mean...
