Greetings folks,, New to Camaro5 as we just got my Wifes new 13 2SS Camaro.. Awesome car and for the first time in her life she is really excited about what she is driving.. Of course I am in charge of the mods.. I have done a few cosmetics to it already.. Added the Red SS logos below the Camaro script on the fenders and a classic style SS logo in the grille as opposed to the bowtie.. Nest thing on the list is a drop.. I have the Eibach drop springs on my DD Avalanche and they have been fantastic on it.. But they are a 1.4 inch drop in the back on the Camaro.. After reading this thread about the shock travel etc I am concerned about dropping it over an inch in the back...?? Any of you guys used the Eibach's ? Or what is the best recommendation on a 1/1 drop.. Probably follow with sway bars as step three after I get a bit more rumble from the exhaust...

I can't really tell you much about the Eibach springs but I can say that we have a ton of guys out there with our BMR 1" lowering springs (SP019) and they are very happy with the. We also have sway bars available that would work perfectly with our lowering springs on your wife's 2013 SS. If you are interested in any of the BMR parts let me know and I can get you some pricing on them. Here are a couple pictures of some late model Camaros lowered on BMR 1" lowering springs.

Use the Hotchkis springs and swaybars, great ride and handling. the Eibach's have a harsh ride compared to all the other 1" springs out there. Heres a few pics of my wifes and she loves it. She says the ride quality is better than stock. It has the hotchkis track pack and Dynatech long tubes and catback.

I am considering the Hotchkiss for sure.. I know their stuff is top
notch.. The springs are reasonable, but the bars seem a bit high..
I have the Eibach springs on my DD Avalanche, and the improvement
in handling was amazing, and I honestly cannot say they hurt the ride a bit..
Its not a Camaro for sure, but to be a full sized SUV she handles pretty well..
I have no doubt the Hotchkiss stuff is better..
