Hurst Spring Kits Are Coming Soon for 2016-2017 Camaros

We just finished installing a set of Hurst springs on our 6th gen. Thoughts on the stance?

Looks good, about an inch? Do you plan to make them for MRC?

Thanks! The rates for the springs in this pic are: 150 lb/in. front and 420/550 lb/in. rear. Once we go into production we will absolutely provide final spring rate and ride height info.

Good eye. We are looking for a 1.0" drop front and rear. We will keep you all updated on whether or not we will release springs for cars with magnetic ride control. Thanks for asking.

Are you sure it's not the other way around? That seems very low for front spring rate and very high for rear spring rate.

Yes. These are the correct rates for the springs pictured.

550 lbs/in is way too stiff for cruising or commuting. I'm guessing that will be your drag spring?

The ride is actually really nice. Our springs are roughly 8-10% stiffer than factory springs.

With the motion ratio in the rear a 550 lbs/in spring rate works out to ~150 lbs/in wheel rate. It is not very stiff.

Whether you're looking to complete your 'Elite Series' build, or just want better handling from your modern muscle car, join Steve as he explains what makes these springs a great upgrade for your ride.
