Might want to get the sway bar soon. The factory links arent going to hold up to long. I put the H&R spring on my SS and snapped the link the first day. pfadt sway bar kit is what i used nothing snapped and you can feel a ton of differene

Hey Casper SS, thank you so much for posting up pics of you car. We love to see this stuff. Glad the install went well.

And yes, the springs will help in the handling balance a bit, due to the increased spring rates. The front and rear are not increased proportionally to the stock values, so there is more roll stiffness added in rear vs. front to get the car more towards neutral. Of course, sway bars are the way to go to address this issue more directly, but tuning with spring rates is something we have a ton of experience with so it is an effective way to not only get your Camaro to look great, but handle as great as it looks as well.

Thanks for all the great comments guys! Great looking car!

looks awesome

The springs alone drop the center of gravity and help some. I had the Pfadt Sport Suspension+ (drop springs, sway bars, and end links) put in my car and I LOVE how my car handles now. It really hugs the curves now at speed and my brakes are thanking me.

Have the Pfadt sway bars now. Springs are next. Looks awesome

I'm usually not a fan of lowered vehicles (because they tend to be too low for my taste) but this car sits PERFECT! Excellent stance! Good job Pfadt!

CasperSS · 05-09-2010, 01:25 PM

Thanks everyone, sway bars will be coming soon.

Cant thank you guys enough for all the love! We are here to answer any more questions you have!

The Pfadt springs make these cars look amazing. I would go for them, but I am starting to prefer the current height of the car, especially driving it around for the first 5000 miles. I like the idea of not thinking twice about an driveway ramp or off-road paved or unpaved parking. Just my preference at this point.

But I will definitely get the sway bars and the endlinks to go with the bars. Guys at Pfadt can correct me, but I think sway bars make a lot more of a difference in cornering than the springs. If I am wrong then I will just go for the whole package

Aaron....CincySpeed just ordered my Pfadt drop springs, sway bars and end links. I spoke with you briefly while hangin at Craig's booth at Camaro5 fest.

After talking with you and then seeing Danny drop the hammer at the AutoX in Mike O'Brien's Pfadt equipped, CincySpeed prepped, Camaro SS the decision to go with you guys was obvious. I will settle for no less than the BEST!!!!

I can't wait!!!!!!
