Same here.

Which ones out of the 3 are best? I'm looking for the closest to stock ride quality and about 1 inch drop. I would go with Pfadts, but I really don't want to spend $300

1. Hotchkis
2. Eibach
3. BMR

I installed the BMR 1" rear and 1.4" front springs and they're great. I also added wheel spacers = 20mm rear and 24mm front - they are AWESOME! The gap between the fender lip and wheel look much better!

Note: Don't worry about the color of the springs - they could be pink and nobody will see them. My BMR are red.

The spacers make the car look beast!

Looks great! Are you running 245's or 275's up front? Any rubbing, clearance, or other issues with the spacers?

I'm running factory 245 front and 275 rear. No issues at all - to install the rear I did have to grind off 1/4" from the factory studs so the wheels would seat properly to the spacers.

IMO Hotchkis are the best riding springs from your choices and they are also sold at a very fair price.

They offer a 1" drop with a progressive rate, which means cruising around town will be nice and smooth similar to stock, but when you dig into a corner the spring rate increases to give you the handling benefits you should expect from a quality performance drop spring.

BMR and Pfadt are excellent choices as well.

Best regards,

That Camaro has an amazing stance!

KW coil overs. Just a touch harsh over blunt speed bumps but overall great handling.
