Ground clearance issues can occur with any lowering spring, it all depends on the condition of the roads in your area. Speed bumps, pot holes, and/or agressive inclines can wreak havoc on any lowered car. Obviously, the lower your car is the more risky it is. As far as header clearance, some brands stick down lower than others, so it is hard to say what your chances are. But I would say, in general, very few people have issues with header-to-ground clearance.
BTW....we just released a new 1.25" spring for the 5th Gen V-8 Camaro (SP077)....and it is less expensive than all of our other springs!!! Just throwing that option out there!!! |

Is there a strut and rear shock that's worth replacing if I use your 1.25 drop springs on my 14 1le??

Absolutely!!! Koni STR.T's (non-adjustable "orange"). They're on sale right now through the end of August for 25% off. Yes, the price listed on our website is the sale price. I believe we have the front struts in stock, but the rear shocks are back-ordered from Koni until late August (or more likely early Sept).

I have a1le and am looking to purchase lowering springs. I like to autocross and would like to do some road track days. Would the bmr 1.25 work for me? Also what do the different spring rates do to the ride?
