I think the stock height looks kind of goofy and out of place lol

 

Stock height looks ridiculous with 16's I think, o only replaced the rears and its like ehhhh, I wish I kept the old ones

 

yeah i wish i could of kept the springs but it was messing my car up bad. no matter how slow i go over a bump it still hit my exhaust and caused a few leaks. so they had to go. ima miss the look. the wheels are 18s i dont know why it looks so high. maybe because the springs are new and they need to lose some compression

 

is there anything i can do to drop it just a little bit?

 

Take out the rear hockey puck things, that doesn't do much though maybe 1/2 inch if your lucky, just let the springs wear in I say, it doesn't look bad (:

 

hockey puck things? and i think it looks like crap. i hate the car now

 

wow, how much to change springs thats rediculus. I heard shops by me charge £260 which is too much (about $450) I did a full coil over change for a friend for £50 and it took only 4 hours on his drive. Camaro springs are NOT that hard to change, just driver side is fiddly. Or did the price include the springs???

anywyas rant over, basically I like the lower look, but im running eibachs in front and on new shocks (if you were on factory shocks these can leak with time) but I got some 1LE springs in rear cause EIbach sag. Also you could have got a slightly bigger sidewalled tire on the 18" to lift it, i've got 45 profile height on mine

 

they will settle in a month or so. just in time for summer.

 

I personally think the stock height looks a 1000 times better. Just but some taller tires on it it will look good. A Camaro should not be made into a low rider.

 

If the springs are Eibach and came on the car, you can reference the model #'s on the springs. If they are sportlines they are list as a 1.6" drop in the front and 1.4" in the rear. If they are the Pro-kit the drop is 1.2". I have had eibach sportlines on three different cars, including my camaro and all the sportlines "sagged" or "settled" about an additional .5". I had to have my exhaust redone so it didnt hit on speed bumps (we have bad speed bumps in FL)...i have long tube headers by pacesetter and the y-pipe. i had a shop build a custom y-pipe and exhaust that didn't hang as low.

The drawback to lowering springs is obviously a harsher ride, but the benefit is improved handling characteristics all the way around. if the springs are sportlines and the shocks are factory, this will exploit the harsh ride. The stock shocks can't handle the aftermarket springs for very long...and aftermarket lowering springs should be replaced with aftermarket struts if the lowering springs are a substantial drop (like eibach sportlines).

My car is not a daily driver, so I like the looks and handling of my sportlines. If it were my daily driver, I would consider a set of the Eibach pro-kit...they still give an aggressive look, improved handling, a smoother ride than sportlines, but still ride rougher than factory.

If you got hit for $800 for a spring install, you got robbed...even if this includes the price of the springs. Typically a two-hour job plus alignment and camber adjustments. $300 for the springs, probably $200 for the labor, $100 for alignment/camber adjustments...worst case scenario.

I've lowered cars with springs or coilovers with the help of one person in under an hour.
