2016 Camaro 1.5 Lowering Springs

Ricardo@Phastek · 02-23-2016, 09:50 AM

Give your new 2016 Camaro that killer stance and get rid of those ugly wheel gaps from the factory, with these 1.5" drop springs. Improve the ride and handling by lowering the center of gravity on your Camaro!!

The car handles great, no rubbing issues, feels stiffer in turns, and goes over bumps very well!!

1.5" Lowering Springs - #PX1

The car we have is Non-MRC. We do have an MRC car that we will be testing soon. From what we can tell the springs are the same on the MRC and the Non-MRC cars. We just want to test to be sure.

Who built and developed these springs? What are the spring rate lb/in specs F&R stock vs these?

ocautomotive · 02-23-2016, 01:36 PM

Would the MRC have to be reconfigured to account for these lowering springs? How would that work?

The company that made the springs is called BG Suspension, we worked with them on the 5th Gen and now they helped us with the 6th Gen.

Spring rate is 20-25% stiffer then stock. Working on getting more specs when compared to the factory springs.

Our stock order is shipping to us TODAY. For now all orders that come in are shipping from the manufacturer, which is in California.

We are going to test that to find out what is needed. Waiting to get our hands on a car.

This will be one of my first mods done, but I thought that I would go with either BRM or Eibach springs. Tell me why I would chose these over the others.

laynlo15 · 02-23-2016, 04:30 PM

Maybe I can tell you once mine arrive. I've had them all on a number of cars, 300c Eibach, g8gt supercharged Eibach and my 15 2ss were BMR. Bmr were a pretty stiff ride unlike my Eibachs. I'm hoping these will prove to be a good ride plus great handling, the ride height is just right for me.

The1DoubleN · 02-23-2016, 04:31 PM

Will they be doing something not as big as 1.5", maybe a 0.8"-1.0" drop? The 1.5" almost looks like too much.

Thank you, Ricardo. Looking forward to hearing about the results of the MRC setup.
