Pfadt drop springs installed - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Took a few pics after installing a set of Pfadt drop springs on my car at the shop. After alignment the front drop was 1.25" and the back was about 1". Ride quality has not suffered and the look and feel are much better. Sorry I didn't take before pics that day. Thanks to Brandon at IPS for getting them shipped out so fast!

you got it setting good.

Now.....do these springs alone improve handling performance at all? Or is it just for looks?

CasperSS · 05-01-2010, 10:05 AM

They improve the handling and looks of the car. I can tell a difference in the handling but I've been told sway bars help more than springs.

Nice job

How was the installation?

Buffnshine · 05-02-2010, 12:13 PM

I realy like the stance, very nice

CasperSS · 05-02-2010, 04:15 PM

Thanks! No sway bars yet just springs. The installation wasn't bad at all. Me and a friend did the front and back in about 2 hours. He used to work in a alignment shop so that helped for sure.
