Coilovers: Lead me in the right direction
I'm still really new to the aftermarket community for Chevys and specifically camaros. I searched through some pages and couldn't find what I was looking for.
Could anyone recommend any good coilovers/brands? I've never purchased coilovers before so I apologize for being so vague/general. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! |

IMO....if you can afford it, PFADT is the BEST way to go!!!!
http://www.pfadtracing.com/catalog/p...roducts_id/175 You can possibly get these a little cheaper through on of their vendors....like Apex or FSP. |

I think the PFADT's are a bit more than what I need. I'm looking for something that will be good for the times I go on drives with windier roads.
Are these the BC Coilovers you guys mentioned? http://www.amazon.com/Racing-Coilove...ilovers+camaro |

How are those honestly? I've heard mixed reviews but not sure anyone that actually told me about them had ever used them.

Just don't get Eibach coilovers. The endlink tabs are too weak for our cars and honestly their customer service aren't that great. They made me pay to ship the broken coilovers to them for warranty repair and never reimbursed me. Repairs weren't even that great.

The Pfadt coilovers would be my # 1 choice. Next I would suggest the Pedders Xa's. Please feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.
