2016 Camaro 1.5 Lowering Springs - Page 23

RideZX6R · 03-14-2017, 11:40 AM

I'm know I'm being lazy, but - Could someone post the spring rates?
Or more specifically... could Ricardo edit the original post to reflect the spring rates (and maybe even the other info that was found out in this thread - Like that these are evidently MRC capable, and don't lower V6 cars as much, etc) - so folks don't need to go looking? 23 pages is an awful lot to sift thru

Our springs did not lower the car at all, not even a 1/4". So the springs rate for the V6 cars is very different, we did take some measurements and we know what we need to do, now its just time to put that stuff into action and see how soon we can get a test set made.

It will be a while but we are going to work on it.

Is 4 months too quick to wonder about status on these?

Yo honestly the LT models need some love! If phastek would figure this out and be able to lower our cars over an inch, I know I & as well as many, MANY other LT owners would buy those springs QUICK!!

4 months is not too long to start asking. We have just been busy with other projects going on. I still dont have an ETA but it is on our to do list.

Since when did you start shipping out the new version? How would I know that you sent me the new updated version and not the old? I'm really concerned because I installed your product in my MRC equipped car not knowing that you have had issues with these springs

PM sent.

We got the new design in January of 2017. So all springs that have shipped out after that are going to have the new updated design. There was just a small change made to allow for a bit better fitment.

Pm replied, great product.

Does this lowering kit affect handling as well, such as rate of turn on speed forna curve, body roll , chassis dynamics? Or does this just affect the ride height?

Just got mine today hoping to install them this weekend

Just for informational purposes...
I ran these on a road course this past weekend with a larger tire/wheel setup and stock brakes.
They seemed to handle well. Didn't do anything unexpected. Cornering was relatively flat. No comparison data with the stock setup since I swapped in the springs prior to any track days.

The springs do effect handling, our car feels a bit stiffer in the corners. We have not put it on a track to see how much they cut down on time but the body roll does feel a bit less then the stock springs.

How much does it lower the car?

On a Non-Mag ride it will drop just about 1.5" and a Mag ride will drop just about 1.25". All V8 cars, SS, 1LE, and ZL1.
