Surprised Strano isn't doing much for these cars
He seemed to be the man on 93-02 Fbodys. He had some awesome springs. Two other springs I'm hoping to see are Swift and Hypercoils.

Strano was/is the only way to go on F-Bodies. I'm actually buying a set for my wife's 01 WS6 we just bought, along with some Koni shocks & struts.
Sam raced SCCA in an F-Body, I think that's where it started. He had a custom setup made, and at some point decided to share with the rest of us. I'm not sure if he'll do it again, they don't even exist for the 5th gen on his site. It may be due to existing options in the 1LE performing well enough that it didn't make sense to waste money on a custom setup. I can tell you the 4th gens DEFINITELY needed the help.

I made a few calls and found out that a spring will be out in 6-8 weeks made by a major manufacturer who makes them for quite a few well known brands. It's at most a 1" drop and the best of both worlds. I'll post up more when I know.
Swift made a great spring for the 2015 Mustang, which I believe was their first on a domestic car. Hoping they jump on the 6G. Like you said though, GM did a great job on this car.

Sam Strano. Funny because I just browsed his site to see if he was doing anything for 6 gens.
Gosh I bought a ton of stuff for my WS6 back in the day including Koni's, a-arms, sway bars..etc.

He doesn't have his site updated, but he definitely knows the hot setup for these cars.

It gets old for those of us who've been around some of the previous LS sites. I don't think Camaro6 needs to be polluted with it.

I ran Hypercos on my last two Fbodys and loved them.

It's still just a bit of a sore subject for us. It is not specific to his brand, we have faced similar issues with other companies as well across several platforms. We spend thousand of dollars and hours developing, testing and prototyping parts. Some do not. When you are an innovator, these sort of problems follow. That is my peace on the matter

I'm sure the subject is sore on both sides. I'll keep with my original thoughts. There are ALWAYS 3 sides to every story. You guys have been at each other's throats for years, I just think it should be let go by now.
