I'm at that point.
Someone just tell me what lowering springs to get. Ive done all my research and everyone has their goods and bads. I just cant pull the trigger on one. A 1.2 inch drop would probably be my max. JUST TELL ME WHAT TO GET SO I CAN STOP LOOKING! haha

I got the Eibach Pro Kit, most will say Pfadt or Pedders coilovers. Good luck whichever way you go!

From personal experience, Pfadt makes the nicest stuff. I went the full adjustable coilovers route. But if I were doing just springs, they would be Pfadt also.

I was just agonizing over which ones also. I just got Hotchkis 1". Have had them on the 2010 and 98 z28. They are in opinions of some who sell them one of if not at the top in quality, but do cost more, but not much.I just rode in a car with them, a 2010 ss and the ride was very good, better then my 2012 stock with sways.The Pfadt ride is good to, rode in two so equiped, but have to cut the bump stops.Pfadt, hotchkis, bmr are all good.

I absolutely love the pfadt springs. I thought for the amount of drop they advertise that the suspension would be quite rough. It's absolutely not, and just feels much more in control. They obviously did their homework in regards to spring rate, and travel. I can fit only about one fingers width between the fender and tire. It looks amazing, and rides great. What more could you ask for. Obviously, other vendors also make fantastic suspension components, as I have other company suspension parts as well. However, I have been very impressed with Pfadt springs in particular, and the fact that they consentrate on designing products only for a few vehicles really shows how much time, energy, attention to detail, and enginneering goes into each product they create.

This was a bad idea haha you guys are making it worse! Pfadt has a limited warrenty but I like their race history and the fact that they only focus on a few cars . .
And I think you V8 guys get a few more choices than us 6 guys as far as all springs go . . |

BMR 1" springs. Ran them for some time before switching to Pedders XA coilovers. Lifetime warranty, near OEM ride, right stance. Talk to Kyle from BMR on this forum.
