Springs with B6's
I have 4 new Billies B6's & am curious what springs would match up properly.
I do not track my car but I do like to walk away from a friends Boss 302 when he tries to follow me in the corners out on country roads. I also have the dreaded "bang" with the 1LE struts so I figure while I replace them might as well upgrade the springs. If I were to go lower, I don't want it "slammed", maybe just a 1" drop. I don't want to lose any handling or ride comfort. BMR, Hotchkiss, Eibach, Detroit Speed, & probably a dozen or more that I haven't mentioned. Open to all recommendations! |

I have the BMR 1.25" drop springs with the B6s and they are a good match.

I have the Hotckis springs and really like them, I plan to match them with the B6 at some point.

I'm happy with my BMR 1" drop springs and Bilstein B6.

Nice stance, Not a fan of to much gap or to low.

I have the B6's (the last strut just arrived from backorder for almost a year) the BMR springs (1" drop). My mechanic said I should replace the Spring seats while I have it apart. Anybody have any info on good aftermarket ones, or at least the GM part numbers? It has been confusing trying to order on-line. I don't have it apart yet, so I don't know for sure what they look like exactly, Thanks for the help.

They ride pretty nice and I haven't been pushing the car (900 miles in the last year) just logging tons of miles on my old truck in Houston Traffic |
