Which lowering kit is this?
I bought a 2002 Camaro for my daughter and it has a lowering kit. I know nothing about lowering stuff. The car has some high end components on it, but the brackets and BMR LCAs kind of threw me off. The car sits nice, but it's not practical for her so I'm going to put SS struts/springs on it and get it back to stock ride height. based on the pics below, does the bracket give any indication or brand or style of the kit? The springs are black with no visible markings until I tear it down. I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer.

gotta see pics of the springs to know for sure... but based on the top photo, $5 says its Eibach Prokit. the lettering is probably there, but its grey and faint or rubbed off a little.
probably handles like crap on those stock shocks.

Thanks for the reply Bob. I was hoping the pics would help someone that was more familiar with these components to identify what brand it is. I agree the springs will be a guessing game until they are removed and I can get the numbers off of them.
Any idea who makes the bolt-in relocation brackets that are on there. They only have one LCA drop hole and have the inner sleeve welded in place. It looks like a beefy piece for sure. Just curious.
I'm looking to trade someone out all the lowering components for some low mileage stock SS springs/struts to get the car back to stock ride height again. This car only has 56K miles on it and rides great.

Yeah I was hoping to swap the front strut assembly as a whole to simplify the swap. I just didn't want to swap for high mileage struts since we have a fairly low mileage car. The rear shocks can stay until I decide to upgrade.
Thanks again guys.

The LCA relocation brackets (pt#MIC0008, $90 pr.) are made by Metco.

Those LCA's are nice, but they won't do anything good (bushing bind) for the cars handling.
IMO either replace them with stock LCA's or LCA's that allow good (bind free) articulation of the rear suspension.

Good find BluZ. That was driving me nuts trying to figure out who made them. They only have one hole, but they are nice and didn't require cutting the E-Brake cable bracket. They almost look like a factory piece.
The car just sits too low for my daughter to be driving in our area. She has speed bumps at school and in the subdivision. It would just be a matter of time before she tore something up.
I have to keep the swap local (Houston, Texas area) to reduce our downtime.
