You need to give more information. Are you just looking to have a low car? Do you car any about ground clearance? Are you interested in cornering capabilities? Do you want better weight transfer to the rear for launches? Do you care about how stiff the ride is?

Drop me a line about our springs. I'll help you out as best I can. So far we haven't raised the prices of our lowering springs. They're still $155 + shipping.

Get the DMS springs.. they rock!!! They lower it between an inch and 1.5 inches and maintain the factory rake (the *** end slightly higher than the nose). You still have a comfortable ride (slightly stiffer than stock) and you will notice a big cornering difference. No bounciness or anything. I couldn't be happier. Oh... and this is comparing it to the Eibach Pro-Kit from my 2001. The Pro-Kit lowers it like 1.2 in the front and 1.5 in the rear... Camaros look funny with an even stance.

If you don't care about how stiff they are, and you want AWESOME cornering get G2 springs. I personally have Eiback Prokit on my current car and I love them, but G2 is a better spring for cornering. Suspension Techniques are also a very good spring for cornering, but it does lower your car like 1 3/4" in the front and 2" in the rear which was a little too much for me since I do already have clearance issues with the exhaust.

I personally have the intrax drop springs. When down over 2 inchs, and yes it is low, but not to where I cant drive it. And the handling is awesome. For the most part they will all do their job, alot of input on springs is just going to be opinions. Pick the height you want and go from there.

Thanks for the good words! I love our springs on my SS. I too took off my Eibachs and now won't go back. We still currently have our springs for $155 + shipping. How many other places do you know of that sells high quality springs for that price
