Take it from someone who purchased eibachs...don't do it, they're junk. Strano is the only spring I will ever put on a camaro now.

H&R also makes good lowering springs, the spring rates aren't ideal like the Stranos or BMR springs but they won't sag like the Eibachs.
FYI, the 315s on your factory 9" wheels presents no real benefit.
Get them on at least a 10.5" wide wheel.

Just cut your OEM springs.

Elaborate...

BMR or Strano.

I think there are a good number of people who are running the BMR front lowering springs/heater hose mod in the rear. I'm gonna give this a shot in the Spring.

I just got a shipment of springs in, lots ready to ship. The proven set that I developed in large part because of things I didn't like about Eibach's and other springs (including the other company mentioned previous design). I think maybe this link might give a little more perspective: https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...ch-hh-mod.html

Note that the owner had Eibach's before and switched to Strano and sure seems a lot happier having done so.

If you have the choice between an original with an almost 10 year track record (both literally considering I raced and won on the springs) and a facsimile why run the copy that isn't as established and actually made by a company you don't know?

If your not looking for the extra rate from a spring like Strano's, which I have on my car because I wanted the rate and the weight reduction they offer. Great spring set Sam! Then cutting the oe spring is a good alternative to lower ride height. I've did it on several cars, no big deal.

I would recommend staying away from the Eibach springs because they will have sagging issues after some time. It is a well documented issue here on the forums.

If you are looking for a good set of lowering springs with a warranty our BMR lowering springs (SP001) sound like they would work perfectly for you. Our springs will give you that nice aggressive stance you are looking for without sacrificing too much ground clearance. Also we provide a lifetime warranty against spring sag with our springs so if you ever have an issue with them you are covered.

We have these on the shelf and ready to ship so if you are interested in a set give us a call and we can get you taken care of.

I've just recently heard of this "heater hose mod" but really don't know much about it. So what will that achieve with just BMR springs in the front?

sam95transam

Lower your front ~1.25" and lower your rear a little less. Here are a couple of threads to glance through.

The rears might. Depends on a lot of factors. Everyones car is different. Either way, if modification is needed is very minor.
