Default Installed SLP Bilistens and BMR Springs Pics

To start off with the car was lowered on Eibach Sportline Springs with the factory decarbons with 170,000 miles. The reason i raised the car up was because i am putting on some kooks headers and do not want to ding them up.

Before Pics with Eibach Springs



Pic of the front drive side shock the passanger side was just as bad took us almost 4 hours to just do the front.


After Pics Bilistens and BMR Springs


Overall im very pleased with the ride the car has, its very smooth and does not bounce me to death. As for the height im going to have to get used to it as i liked the way it looked slammed.

Click on the Pic its a walk around vid of the camaro after the install

The car looks good. I put the same shocks on my car yesterday with stock springs. I also installed an Energy Suspension control am bushing kit at the same time. It tool my brother and I about six hours to do just the front end. The car rides great now.

Looks great, I like the stance. I always thought sportlines looked a bit too low. Should be a more comfortable ride now though!

Yea it is a lot more comfortable, the stance is starting to grow on me I'm just going to have to buy a taller tire to fill in the wheel well.

Thanks for choosing our products for your project

The cars do look killer when they are low it's just hard to maintain good ride quality...

The new stance and improved ride quality will grow on you

I'm glad you mentioned a taller tire, that's probably the only thing hurting your car now. Other then that, it looks great!

So out of curiosity, how did you get that rusted nut off the shock mount? Maybe someone has learned a better technique...

My passenger looked just like that. I worked on it for 2 hours before I got pissed, threw that b*tch on the floor, kicked it, threw it and finally cussed at it.

I took it to Firestone and paid a guy $20 to fight with it for 45 min. He had pneumatic tools, I did'nt.

I cleaned out the shock mount of all rust and sprayed the inside with Rustoleum Automotive rubber spray (3 coats) bought new pilot bearings and coated the shock stem with electrical grease. Hopefully that will keep it from rusting.

Stance looks good! I am sure the ride will be much better with the BMR springs.
