Considering aftermarket lowering springs? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Of course the concept would be lowered with fatter tires, so now to get that look, they offer the 21" wheels but no lowering springs that I'm aware of. So I was considering (when this is released) on getting an Eibach pro-kit, which will likely lower the the front maybe 1" and the back maybe 1 1/2". I see a little too much wheel well showing on the new 2SS. So is anyone considering lowering the ride height?

Also, is their any visual ride height difference in looking at the 1SS package and 2SS package as far as suspension is concerned?

I'm gonna lower it, probably with Pedders xa, will be done shortly after I get it, along with wheels but probably gonna stay with the 20's

Nice list!

Pedders already has the springs covered, and in various drops.

We are doing the final checks on a couple Camaro's this week to get the info we need, but the springs are done and in stock.

Yeah Milk, I looked at that list after I wrote that and was really helpful. I put it in my favorites list! Looks like the Eibach's are still in development but am interested to see what their height lowering would be. I'm a little worried about the handling though. I had the Pro-Kit on my 97 Maxima SE and it was quite rough and on the curves, shifted abruptly if you hit a bump.

Air ride technologies(www.ridetech.com), they will have a kit eventually so for now I am just going to put on a set of springs.
