Help with RS suspension upgrade choices
Hi all, sorry if this has already been covered, if so please link me.
I have a 16 RS. 3.27 gears, Trifecta tune, BMR sway bars, lower trailing arms and rear brace going in soon. I am thinking of doing springs or coilovers. The wife has been driving it and pretty much killed my front struts not paying attention to hard bumps on San Bernardino crappy roads. I'm not looking to slam it but a little lower I wouldn't mind. I've been looking at the Megan EZ coilovers but not sure if I should just stick with springs and struts. It's a daily driver. I hwy race but no track time as of yet. Any info would be great. Pics are a little old but stance is the same. Thanks all.

I'd stick with OEM suspension; that way you won't need to race on the highway!

eibach springs on mine. no change to the rest of the suspension though. Been on it for almost 2 years and no issues. Still clears speed bumps without having to drive on eggshells.
Though, if you're destroying your suspension with stock springs and struts/shocks then why in the world would you think about going lower? That makes no sense. |

The wife is the destroyer of struts, all Hale the Queen, lol. I've run Eibach on a lot of cars (Mustangs, Challengers, etc) but always wind up swapping it out for something firmer. First Camaro for me though. How is the firmness of your Eibachs? Or do you fuel the progressive springs could be a little firmer?
