Hello guys I just got back from driving a 2006 z06 from Dallas tx to Denver and I love the way it drove and how smooth it felt so my question is how do I get my Camaro to be almost has smooth?

My Camaro specs
Bilsten shocks
Eibach pro lowering springs
Hotchicks lowing controls arms
Hotchicks Panhard bar
And everything else is stock
So can some one please help me

Good luck. Solid axle car with a unibody.

You could try a different spring but it still isn't going to ride like a vette. Also i'm assuming you're using poly bushing which will be a stiffer then rubber.

Should I siwtch out the springs

Keep the bilstiens or go with koni SAs.
Throw the prokit springs away and get stock ones.
Sell the hotchkis control arms and go back to stock ones with rubber bushings.
Keep stock sized wheels(no bigger than 17"), run 30psi in the tires.

THis is your problem. I've got almost the same setup, but with Strano sways and BMR PHB. Those Eibach springs ride like ****. It's a progressive rate spring which is harsh for ride quality.

Make sure you keep those LCA's greased, and for ride quality and handling, you're best off to go with a Roto type joint from UMI for the LCA's and PHB. It allows more articulation of the rear end. Poly joints in those solid LCA's are more suited for drag racing and don't articulate well and just bind up when you try to handle the car.

I'm getting rid of my Eibach/Bilstein setup for some Koni/BMR setup, but debating on just getting the Strano springs to match his sways. I have yet to get some Double roto LCA's and PHB from UMI. Gonna see how the car sits with the BMR springs first, then see how it rides. If it's still harsh, I'm gonna get the strano springs.

Strano/Koni is said to be the best ride quality.

So would stock stuff make my car ride better

Yes poly bushings

So poly bushing are doing what

JD_AMG

Read my post.
Stock springs, control arms and bushings - yes. Stock decarbon shocks (or cheap autozone ones) - hell no.

Likely binding when they are supposed to "give" and flex, making the ride harsher and the handling less predictable.

First I'm going to start with springs
