Which springs are better???

I'm looking to purchase a set of lowering springs for my 18 1ss. I've looked into both BMR and Eibach. Just looking for input from you guys that have purchased and what do you feel makes one better than the other.

Also on a side note....any recommendations on a shop in Las Vegas to get the install done??

Thanks in advance

I just installed BMR springs on mine. I love everything about them, the stance, the ride, even the color.... I think they hit a home run with these springs

I installed them myself, pretty pain free. 4 hours in my driveway at a leisurely pace. Rear took a little longer than the front.

I have BMR on mine. Have about 1,000 miles on them. Can't feel the difference in ride quality from stock, but it sure does look a lot better!

I have the Phastek springs and am happy with the ride quality, handling and stance.

I don't track the Camaro really. That was just playing around cuz the track car was down. But if I was serious about it, I'd be running coil overs.

LOL. I hear that a lot. I've run with all the groups and they all have their pros and cons. Luckily in SoCal there are a ton of great options.

Install them yourself. It's not too hard.

Check out the data on the YYZ Powell.

I'm looking into springs also, for the looks and function of tracking the car, and after reading a few of these threads on springs, thanks to @kropscamaro16, hands down YYZ Powell look like the best springs on the market whether you want to track or not. You can purchase here, read the information on them on this page, check out the data.
