Looking forward to the change. Next will be deciding on how to sit it down some, either coil-overs or springs. Not quite sure just yet.
Nice I wouldn't go with springs but that's just me, after talking to some of the guys on here, I go with either BC Racing CO or RideTech CO

Bit the bullet. New tires and wheels on the way.

If anybody is interested in some decent condition stock 19s with michelin pilot sport tires with 8/32nds tread left, I'll be selling them in a couple weeks...

LOL ... In the same boat here. It will be a while before I get springs, but for now just researching for a good reliable set. Not sure if I want or need to go coilover , for she is daily driver. I would just want it for the stance and a lil bit better handling ..Nothing track worthy lol.

I gotcha. Mine was a daily for 9 of the 12 years I've had her. After I got the springs in I took two of my Camaro friends that wanted to lower their Camaro's for a ride, and I let them drive the car as well while we were out, and they loved the ride and handling she had and when they got back home, they ordered the same springs and had them installed!! They were happy campers!! My Camaro is not a track car either, has only seen the 1/4 mile twice, once when she was stock with just a CAI and exhaust, then after the header install and tune. She hasn't been back on the track since then. I just drive her and cruise around.

I also have the pfadt drop springs on my car. Also the pfadt trailing arms. Love the stance, handles just fine still, no drawbacks at all after all these years.

I think you'll like them. I had Eibach's springs on my 2004 Mustang when I had it and didn't like them at all. They were too soft and made for a squishy ride.. Too much bounce in them.

They are well priced too !

I had a friend that had Eibachs on his 4th Gen , and it was a stiff ride . Although he had the Sport lines with a more extreme drop.
My 93 Trans Am has the SLP springs . I like them , but for a daily , they can be a bit stiff.
