Weird right? They seem to be a little lower now too than when that video was recorded so I can say the drop was perfect

I can only assume the 4cyl will get a slightly less drop from these. Hmmmm ...

I ordered Eibach springs today as well as a BMR adjustable front sway bar and the FE3 end links. Fingers crossed everything is here by Sep 13.

Update after install

Likes:
The drop, 1" in the front and 1-1/4" in the rear.
The ride is much stiffer and in my opinion AFE got it right for street use. In that as a daily driver on bad streets it's tolerable.
Where these springs come to life is in the corners in comparison to stock. I have AFE swaybars front and rear set in the middle hole riding on
HTR Z III - Size: 285/30ZR20 square setup. It corners hard now and predictable at the limits of adhesion, but it's a strain to stay seated.
New seats now have taken priority over other upgrades.

If anyone is considering these tires, as they are the best bang for the buck (IMO), just remember water is like kryptonite to these tires.

Dislikes:
Currently going over speed bumps I hear clunking in the front and will be
talking to the installer about this and a follow up call to AFE.

The tire pics didn't post in the correct orientation where the end of the tape
measure is touching the ground and drawn up centered on the wheels.

Received the aFe lowering coils Monday, went to the service shop yesterday to set a date (expecting Thursday or Friday) and they took it right in, therefore did not get before measurements. Looks like a 1" drop for all four corners, maybe a little more for the rears.

Drove over the rough roads of southern Macomb County (Ten Mile between Mound and Dequindre, for example) as well as some speed bumps: no clunking noticed. The ride is firmer than OEM, but matches my idea of an excellent ride.

This is on a 2018 Camaro LT 2.0 which is not listed by aFe because they haven't accessed a 2018 yet for their own tests.

No pictures for now but once I receive and get the 1LE Skorpion hood installed that is my plan.

The car has settled and it has a sport car feel. Again no problems with rough pavement or shopping center etc. speed strips.

Looks great!
Square wheels for a 4 tire rotation. After seeing the full body pic again, the
tire offset is deceiving and appears to be tucked into the wheel well which it is
not.

I'm currently running 285-30-20 and according to Tirerack the dia. is 26.7.
Just to be clear are you asking whether a 28.7 dia tire will fit in my setup which
was lowered F 1" R 1.5"?

All four wheels are 20 x 10 +23 and would have no problem in the rear.
The front however looks sketchy in that it would fit but I can't predict the
outcome driving on that size of tire.
