^ I lowered more for the look than performance and I have to say it turned out awesome. My 22's don't rub at all, it turned out perfect. If it was any lower I would have had a problem since my rims are flush with the fenders. The handling is much improved as well. My car use to sway from side to side while driving on Sin City's bumpy freeways and now it feels more secure and planted to the ground.

nice, I also like the look of the lowered/stock rim combo--if rears were only wider, maybe white-lettered tires?

Great look any adjustments
I installed a set on my Camaro last weekend and was wondering if there were some tricks to getting them to even out with some simple adjustments. I called Eibach and he said that from the factory he has seen cars that are even on all sides. But he was unable to offer up any advice.
Thanks |

I'm looking at getting sway bars. Did the SS sway bars improve your handling? Do you Know the diameter difference from the V6's to the SS?

Two suspension packages are offered: FE2 sport on V-6 models and FE3 performance with the V-8. The front suspension has a dual ball strut system, with a direct-acting stabilizer bar that measures 22.2 x 4 mm on FE2 and 23 x 4.2 mm on FE3. Hollow bars are used for mass savings. The front spring rates for FE2 models are 25 Nm, with wheel travel at 96 mm. FE3 models include a stiffer, 27 Nm spring rate, with wheel travel reduced at 84 mm. 2010 Camaro Chassis Rear suspension features include high lateral stiffness for handling via three lateral ball joints per side. A sub-frame at the rear is double-isolated to minimize vehicle body motions and dampen road imperfections. The FE2 with a manual transmission includes a spring rate of 53 Nm, with wheel travel at 115 mm, and employs a limited-slip differential. The FE3 rear axle uses a limited slip differential on both manual- and automatic-equipped models; and the rear spring rate is increased to 66 Nm and wheel travel is reduced to 100 mm. Coil-over shock absorbers are used in the rear with a decoupled, hollow stabilizer bar. FE2 includes a 21.7 x 3 mm rear bar, while the FE3's large bar measures 23 x 3 mm. 2010 Camaro Chassis The axle halfshafts on all V-8 models and manual transmission-equipped V-6 models are 30 mm in diameter on the left side and 40 mm on the right side. This design feature helps reduce the oscillation of torque from side to side and reduces axle hop. |

^ Thanks for the info. Very informative. I can pick up some used SS parts for a lot less $ than going aftermarket.

Looks nice, real nice! I'll have my Eibachs this Friday. Not sure when I'll get them installed but hopefully prior to our July 1oth Meet & Greet at Hare Chevrolet in Noblesville, IN.
Can't wait to have this look. Lowered cars look so fierce, aggressive and on this car, it just puts it over the top!
