Thanks Chase, between the wheels and springs, it handles a lot less like the heavy pig it is, being a Vert and all. Just waiting on some matching sways....

Another happy ZL1 owner on Apex springs.

I cannot say enough good things about these. The look is perfect to me, not low enough to get into too much trouble and I personally think the ride quality is better than before. I drive the car daily (when I'm home and weather permitting) and i honestly don't think I could have made a better choice. I have had no rubbing issues, no vibrations, no clearance issues with the splitter or anything. I live in western NC so it's definitely not the flattest area to be in and there are some somewhat steep entrances to certain areas. That being said, I am very cautious about how I pull into places. I know this isn't very in depth but I don't claim to be an expert car guy either, just hoping this could help someone who may be in marker for a great set of springs. As you can tell, I had these beastly calipers powder coated as well. Please excuse the not so great phone pictures.

Some killer looking cars in here. Looking good.
So,..you all you need is lowering springs to get that drop on the Camaros? I know with the Mustang, you need to buy an adjustable panhard bar, etc., etc,.

All you need is the springs and an alignment after the install.

I'm interested in buying this set of lowering springs but I had a quick question... So the springs (APX1410126) fit all 5th generation camaros? (v6, ss, zl1)? Just making sure I don't buy the wrong thing, that's all
