Lowering springs Suspension Techniques ST-60115

Hello, I searched the entire forum, no luck though. Does anybody has pics of a 3th gen V6 that is lowered with these springs. They're especially for a V6 and lower 1" front and rear and as far as I know don't require any modification.
Thanks.

I wasn't impressed. I'd get something else.

How's the ride? Stiff or liveable? I have them with KYB shocks and it's alright. Not quite as responsive as I'd like though.

Dropzone has springs for a V6 and are a good price. Ive had them on my car since 04 and have no complaints at all about them. You can see pics of it in my cardomain page, which is listed in my profile. Theyre about 1.5" drop

Happy new year. Long time reader, first time poster.

@jensen73110: Beautiful car, and thanks for posting the picture, as I've been considering these same springs for some time. Would you mind sharing your wheel/tire sizes so I can get a slightly better reference for how these springs might look on my own car?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Lowering springs Suspension Techniques ST-60115

Outstanding. That'd put the tire diameter between 25 and 26 inches, which is where I'm at now, so I'd get a similar look. Thank you very much for the helpful information.

Re: Lowering springs Suspension Techniques ST-60115

Like Jensen said they arent great. They really screw up our already marginal alignment adjustments. I'm going to get drop spindles when belltech comes out with theirs. Should be close to $250 which is only a little above the springs.

OK, after an internet search, I cant seem to find the springs for the 82-92 camaro. Found em for the 93-97 though, lol. I didnt search very long, so they may still be there... but who knows. Ill give them a great review, so ifyou happen to find them, my thumbs up. maybe check ebay.

About $210. You have to call dropzone or whoever else offers them, they don't advertise it for some reason.
