Does anyone have any opinions and or information on the Suspension Technique Speedtech maximum drop competition springs? I have already gone to the website and read the specs on these particular springs, but again I would appreciate your opinions on the pros and cons concerning these springs.

I have them on my 02 trans am vert, i think they are awesome, really nice and low. Really stiffens up the ride. Lowers the car bout 1.75", i tend to scrape more than i think eibach and the other springs out there do, but once i get some rims on my car that should help out quite abit. Here are some pics.

Your ride looks sweet with those springs installed!

When you say “scrape” do you mean the front air-damp or the actual under carriage of the car?

Also, do you have the stock shocks or aftermarket shocks? The reason I ask is because I have the stock springs with QA1s all around. If it weren’t for the 12-way adjustability factor I would bottom-out the front air-dam a whole lot more. As it is, the air-dam bites it from time to time, but thats only due to the fact that I have the front 1.5” lower than stock height and the stock springs are too soft for that lowered stance.

Does anybody else have these springs with QA1s on their 98-02 F body???

I have those springs. With the stock shocks, It is hella low. I do scrape, but it was managable. I've had 'em for over 4 years. Now with my Spoohn(?) Tq arm it's a nightmare over even moderate speed bumps. I have QA1's sitting in a box, but I'm going to install stock rear springs and raise the front up a little with the Hals. Bummer because I like the slammed look. Those shocks will work better with a stock spring rate anyway.

Here is a pic of my buddy's WS6 with those springs and KYB AGX shocks.

Which Spohn TA are you using and were you scraping the under carriage, the oil pan or just the front air dam???

i got these springs and i hate them.

for some reason, my car sits super high in the front. and its pretty low in the back. i can fit 3-3 and a half fingers in the front and 2 in the back.

makes my car look like its accelerating.

however, they do ride very well.. excellent handling.

theres a pic in my sig.

I don't know, man, your Camaro looks pretty damned good in that pic.....(I may be just a little biased towards NBM Camaros, though!)

I almost bought ST springs, but I couldn't find any good info on the spring rates for the two diffferent spring sets that Jegs has listed for 93-02 F-bodies. The regular spring lists a 1.3" drop, p/n 876-63045.....and the Speedtech springs p/n 876-63045 list a 1.2" drop in the front, and a 1.7" drop in the rear.

I was looking at the p/n 876-63045 set, but didn't want to buy them without knowing what I was getting....so I bought Hotchkis springs.

yeah the ones i have are 1.2/1.8.

ive seen these springs in pics and in real life and thats why i bought them.. for some reason they just dont look good on mine.


if i had to do it again, i would have went with GC

I have them with kyb 8 way adj shocks and it rides pretty sweet, i like it alot, mostly the front damp scrapes but ive noticed that my pipes will scrape as well and a couple of times ive barely caught my exhaust tips. The real test will be when i get some headers installed, hopefully those wont scrape

Steve Gunn

It's the spoohn adjustable one. The torque arm crossbrace itself scrapes

anybody with a camaro, do these scrape on the body?
like the front bumper?
i know my rs is terrible at this and i have to be as careful as can be with it
i was thinking about getting these for my lt1 which would probably make it a little bit lower from the additional engine weight
thanks in advance and sorry for hijacking the thread

unvc92camarors

ttt, i know this thread is old but, cmon people

and i assume ttt's are alright here?
i know some websites that gripe about that kind of thing

unvc92camarors

thanks amit
do you have to avoid any particular spots in your town or anything?
i just really don't want to mess my front bumper up

amit

umm well i have to angle my car in when i go into my underground parking.

thats about it. speed bumps im ok.. and this is with stock y-pipe that hangs excessivly low.

unvc92camarors

hey, thanks amit
that's all i really needed to know
now i just gotta decide if it's worth it to go to them and suffer the rs syndrome

He scrapes anything and everything. With the KYB shocks, the ride is harsh as hell and not comfy. It looks sweet, but just doesn't make sense for a daily driven car in our area (rough roads).
