1.25 front. And 1.0 rear. anyone? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I've never seen this before? Anyone tried it?

I ordered bmr 1.25 springs I'm thinking of going to a 1.0 rear to gain more clearance and it will still look badass with a slight rake. Wish someone had pics though.

Anyone one had bad experiences with springs on our cars??? There's alot of hype not much realistic info about it.

The .25 difference would be so minimal I doubt it would be noticeable. Even the .4 difference in the 1.4/1" kit is pretty subtle. There is no reason you couldn't or shouldn't do it though.

People have done it. I would actually suggest this setup over the 1.4"/1" setup. Cheaper too!

Best regards,

I have a set of Apex/Pfadt springs I'm ready to install and was thinking about putting .5" front spring spacers in the front to avoid DD obstacles. I figured it would remove the rake but benefit from the stiffer spring rates. Any input welcome.

I installed these springs last Sept, and I have not had any significant issues at all. I also have the 1LE front splitter, so that makes it even more likely I would have issues as mine is also a DD.

i have 1.4/1.0 bmr set up. with ground effects. from the factory i just always thought my front looked just a touch higher than the back, so i went with this setup, it came out perfect

Gonna run this, clearance is pretty important to me now since im gonna install some aero stuff and I have cutouts/headers. Don't want my shit dragging the ground with these big drops that are out there

A quadrapost... Holy cow that's a rare sight!

Nice car but I like a bit of rake especially with the hips on these cars. I'm selling my kW v3s as I'm going with a forced induction kit.
