Lowered with Pfadt, pics and thoughts. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Lowered my SS/RS with Pfadt lowering springs. The car sits perfect now, everything is proportioned and slightly more agressive looking. As far as ride goes, I drive the same roads everyday and they are quite poor and can say withought a dought there are major differences. The front takes bumps much better than before, no more bounce or floating feeling and they are quiet. The rears are a bit stiffer and are quiet on decent roads, on the poor roads they are noticeably more noisey. The car was aligned using Pfadt street performance settings. Could not get all the caster recomended using stock components, but do not think it will be a problem.Using these specs the car handles much better, not as floaty and a bit more stable. For those asking about ride quality you will loose some of the "comfortable ride" to a bit stiffer ride but more the way Muscle cars should feel.

Looks good

Interesting front lower spoiler. What brand is that? Or did you just put vents in the existing spoiler?

Darth_Emma · 06-16-2010, 06:28 PM

You forgot to mention that it drives MUCH better on the curves! (I have a Pfadt sport suspension+ too.)

Your car looks sweet!

It is the stock one. The lower grille was modified for the plate mount, the vents are actually the scoops for my CAI.

Nice choice in product and the car looks great.

Add some Pfadt sport sway bars for to really ride the car of the under steer is has, then really enjoy true steering response and traction!

I think these springs and sways would handle excellent

Atti2de · 06-18-2010, 04:47 PM

Mine handle great, just need to see which has the better rebound rate.
