What are you guys thinking of H&R in the EU it is one of the leading sport suspension manufacturer. It fits perfect with the MRC.

Having come from the truck world, when measuring lifts and such, measurements were always taken from the center of the wheel hub up to the fender. This gives you a true, or more accurate, measurement of height compared to measuring from a floor. Especially when considering different tire sidewall heights.

Is H&R making springs for the Gen 6 car? I have been on their site and do not see an application. I have a non MRC car. If there is a part number or information about H&R lowering springs, can you provide that information? I have always liked H&R. I even called them a couple of weeks ago and they said they were not making Gen 6 Camaro springs yet. Your link is to a Chevy SS, not a Camaro SS.

Thanks.

Same here. Great results from H&R and Eibach over the years. I go with the longest-established manufacturers.

Any updates on this topic? I have been shopping for springs for my ZL1 but they all seem to lower the front only about 1/2" and that's not worth the $ to me. I'd like minimum 1" front and rear to close the wheel gap. I know several brands claim 1"+ but seems like once installed the measurements to the top of the wheel arch is almost exactly what I have with the stock springs...

I also went with the BMR's (which are Eibach's btw). I'm happy with it. I could use another 1/4 inch drop, but the car sits fine and it didn't affect the mag ride at all. If anything, car handles better. Or it at least seems too. No complaints.

Any way either of you could take some measurements at the top or the wheel opening? Trying to get an idea where these different springs actually sit.
