How is the drone inside the car at cruising speeds on the highway? This is my wife's daily driver and we'd like a more aggressive exhaust at WOT but nothing annoyingly loud while just cruising.

Just installed them today. You definitely hear the car more when cruising at 70. I'm not sure I would call it drone, because I don't find it annoying. More like a deep hum. Seems to live around 2000 RPM. Below 2000 it is essentially silent. 2000-3500 RPM is very deep and I actually might call it a rumble. Above 3500 it is higher pitched. I'd describe it as similar in character to the stock exhaust, but a deeper and louder. I'm definitely pleased. I clamped them on, but I will be having them welded at some point. Definitely worth $400 in my book. I did not notice any performance difference, but I did not really expect much.

Thanks for the info. I called AA and they said they won't be available until the end of the month. They offered $415 shipped, which isn't too bad I guess.

I did a 1" drop F&R with the Eibach Pro Kit. Really like the look and the ride. Makes a big difference in the profile, get comments all the time and wiping the roof is way easier now.

Me and OldSchoolCamaro did it about a two weeks ago in his garage. Took us about 3hrs to do but would have been around 2hrs had we not had to go to Lowes to get a 24MM socket and a pipe to break the nuts on the front suspension. Piece of cake and had it to the dealership the next day for the alignment and they said it was all good! The ride is perfect!

How does the ride compare to stock? I'm on the fence about the Eibach kit. Lowering it 1" all around is just what I want but I don't want to sacrifice the ride quality since it's my wife's daily.

For anybody looking for the kit, and wants it now, go to ebay, search for '817483'. They have several for 427.95 shipped.

That's exactly what it is. As long as you arent under 2,000 rpms, you won't hear any drone.

All I can say is I'm 53yrs old and I refuse to sacrifice ride comfort for a look. I think the car rides pretty much the same. I have no issues with it at all.

Hmm first time I have seen a bra, other than clear, on a camaro. Doesn't look too bad at all.
