What is the reason to do that?

Im going with 305's on 20x11.5's out back and the wider tire makes the well gap much more noticeable than w/the factory 275's.....so 1" Eibach springs are being installed at my dealer this week. Just 1" will make a big difference in the appearance not to mention improved handling. Sway bars are next.

Thanx for the reply, I had no idea why people do only an inch

To me, it's still needs more of a drop. Eibach is coming out with sportlines for the camaro right??

I read that they were. If the Sportlines hold true from previous cars, they will be considerably stiffer and ride quality will suffer. For the price, it's hard to beat the Eibachs. Pfadt springs are roughly $100 more and will go down about 1.25in.

The OP's car does look to sit just about right. Any higher wouldn't be worth the price. A tad lower would look good too though.

That is why we at Pfadt chose the 1.25" drop. The 1" just didn't seem like quite enough. I think that the drop springs on these cars are almost a requirement to get them looking correct.

Looks perfect. I cant stand the look of the car sitting on the ground, not to mention actually driving a car that low and having to watch every bump in the road or curb or driveway you have to negotiate. Give it alittle time and they will settle a tick more.

It does look nice...

1sickss · 11-25-2009, 06:22 PM

1 week after having the spring on, the springs have settled and the cars now sits exactly 1.1 inches lower all the way around

Orange5thGen · 11-25-2009, 06:32 PM

FEN · 11-25-2009, 07:35 PM

Went to the dealer today and saw my car w/the Eibach 1" springs installed.....really looks good.The 1" really does make a big difference in the appearance. I arrived too late to pick it up.....office people were gone and i had no way to pay for the labor. Friday its home again!

I have my Eibach Springs and Sway Bars on order, they should be in on Monday. I will post pics after the install.

I have not seen any pics on a V-6 yet. Cant Wait to feel the difference in the ride.

This may be a dumb questionbut I have to ask anyway. After you lowered your car, did you have to redo the alignment settings, or did they stay the same? Your car sets perfect.
