Hey guys! Anyone running pfadt lowering springs on their car? I’m thinking of getting these for my 1LE but I looking for something that’ll have a pretty similar ride quality to stock. Let me know what you guys think! Or if you have any other suggestions let me know! I know the 1LE has different suspension so anything you guys recommend would be great thanks!

Irun the PFADT 1.5 lower springs. Car looks mean as hell and has the perfect stance to me (about one finger above the tires front and rear(. Steep driveways are a challenge and parking lot with the concrete dodads or pulling into a spots front in is dangerous if not careful. The suspension is a big part of what sets the 1LE apart from the SS. I wouldn't mess with it too much. No more than 1" to 1.4. But car handles great with these springs but I also changed bushings and subframes.

I also run the Pfadt springs, 1.25 all 4 corners. Car rides really nice, not harsh or bouncy, just plain comfortable. And as stated above, got room for 1 finger between the front and rear tires and fenders. I also have the Pegasus solid cradle bushings installed. Very low and the stance is perfect, so I'm told. Good luck.

JPSS recommended either Detroit speed or BMR. Pedders WAS the way to go. Not sure if they are back in the US market though.
