Well I decided to go with the BMR 1.4"/1.0" drop.... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

And it was an excellent choice! Spent the past couple week debating on which springs to go with and if I should do the install myself. Well I went with the BMR 1.4"/1.0" Coil Springs and ended up doing the install myself following the Hotchkis instructions. The front was a breeze, did both sides in about an hour and a half. The rear was a little tougher just because there wasnt as much room to work with but still wasnt bad at all... I will post some better pics once I get around to it but here is what the outcome looks like...

30 1/2 inch from the ground in the rear on stock springs.....

29 1/4 inches in rear with BMR...

before....

and the after....

Look great

...but are they the 1" or the 1.4" drop? Is it that you have both with more drop in the back? Just a bit confused.

Anytime and thanks again for the sale! I will be glad to recomend these to anyone who is considering them. Got the alignment done this morning and the ride and handling are excellent for just swaping out the springs.

Thanks man.... I got the wheels from a place local to me. But look around, westcoastcamaro has them and there are a few places on ebay like factory reporoductions that have them listed. Both in the stock 20" and also 22".

Nice setup. I am about to do the same on mine. Any updates on how its holding up?

I want to get this setup and also get wider set of wheels to 275 fronts and 315 rear which is much larger than the 245/275 stock.

Any potential issues rubbing going that route?
