I have Hotchkis 1 inch drop because I read many threads saying that the ride was best. I like mine, but I also have KONI Orange struts which makes the ride very firm.

Maybe another option to consider is the aFe control PFADT series lowering springs.

I have BMR 1" all the way around -- but it also depends on what you plan to do with the car -- there are a lot of options depending on your needs...

While most muscle car owners like beating up on other muscle cars I enjoy making the recent over population of diesel truck owners look bad

This right here.

If you are looking for something simple then you will be happy with either Hotchkis, Eibach, BMR or PFADT.

If you are going to be tracking and more aggressive, I would suggest Coilovers.

Pm or call me with any questions.

Thanks

JT

Thanks Don!

He is correct - different drops for different applications

I recommend Either the BMR 1" or 1.25" springs depending on the drop you're looking for. The Hotchkis springs are also a very good option.

Best regards,
