What would be a good brand of springs to purchase?
I'm looking to install a set of springs on my 91' Camaro and am curious which brand you guys recomend. I'm looking for a set that will lower my car an 1" - 1 1/12". I here tha Eibach is a good brand to buy.

I have the Eibach pro kit and love them. The stance is great,and the handleing is a lot better. The Eibach's are what I would recommend.

I have Eibachs.They're probably the most popular aftermarket springs out there.
Had to cut some off mine, to get the heighth I wanted though.

Definitely go with the Eibach's. I bought a competing brand of spring out of another catalog and didn't get the results that I wanted. My handling is better but my car is not near low enough. Eibach is the best for the money.

I have Hotchkis on my Z.Lowered about 1" to 1.25",better ride than stock and handling is much improved.

The Eibach's are a progressive rate spring and allow for a good ride while improved handling. The Hotchkis are a solid rate spring I believe and would have an overall harsher ride but better handling.

You have walked onto the biggest baddest dog porch and you will be dealt with accordingly.
I'd rather be historically accurate than politically correct!

Do any of you guys have pics of your cars after you installed the springs so I can see what kind of stance to expect? Preferably Camaros.
