Ive just put C5 wheels on my 99 camaro. Its got 17" on the front and 18" on the rear. I`m thinking of lowering it about an inch. Maybe a bit more in the rear. I heard some springs have a tendency to sag. Anyone recommend some good springs and the best place to buy them? |

Rick'sCamaros/Eckler have kits for your car, the service is good, order online. Jegs are also good, cheap and the delivery really quick. |

Google, Sam Strano lower springs and then BMR springs... There are more, DMS, GMS (same springs), Eibach (they sag over time), Hotchkis. I would also suggest to replace the stock shocks as they are only good for limited miles/years (3yrs/30K miles). I have DMS springs/ Koni shocks. My car is lowered 1.25"-1.5"

i'd second the eibach rears sagging, mine did. Actually not bad if you want the car low, and I mean LOW but there are better options MR etc as Bene has said. I run eibach at front and some LE1 uprated stock springs in the rear. |

I notice that you don't have the side repeaters above the Z28 badge on your fender. Don't the guys at your M.O.T centre question this? I'd love to be able to return my fenders to their original repeaterless condition.

I changed my wings to US spec too, depends on how your tester is. Rules are a little 'hazy' for imports so sometimes its ok, sometimes not! |
