Question about 2013 V6 Lowering Springs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys, I want to get some lowering springs for my 2013 LS. Eibach seems to be the most popular of lowering springs, but I'm wondering if anyone has them or has any other ones. Does the car feel a lot different when you're driving it? Honestly, the main reason I am considering them is because they look a lot better than stock height. Does anyone have them or have a similar spring (H&R)? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

I had Eibach but didn't particularly like them; I found they were too soft for the weight of the car and/or reduced travel, and was bottoming out (springs fully compressing) much more frequently than with stock springs. JusticePete (Camaro suspension guru who doesn't appear to be too active anymore) always recommended BMR and Detroit Speed springs because of their higher spring rates (highest available besides coil-overs, I believe), so you may want to consider those.

I have the 1.5" DSE lowering springs on my V6 and love em. I also paired them with other suspension mods as well. Handles awesome!
