Does anyone know of any good springs that won't a camaro? I am trying to keep my camaro the same ride height or even lift it up in the rear a little bit. Thanks

I think Dewey is somewhat of the resident suspension dude. What are you planning on doing with the car? If it is just a driver you could consider new factory springs. A lot of people with older stock springs that have begun to sag a bit don't notice any drop (and sometimes see an increase in ride height) by installing kits like the Eibach Pro-Kit. If you take a few measurements of your ride height front and rear as it sits now I am sure there will be a few folks here that could give you some recommendations.

Cheers!

The IROC springs are the highest rate of all the factory springs. Them coupled with the WS6/1LE sway-bars, makes for a great combo.

The front springs with either BZX or BZY on the tags on them, are the ones you want.

-------------------------------------------
14029399 BZY 14029399 -------------- (+) Highest load rate
14029398 BZX 14029398
14029397 BZW 14029398*
14029396 CDB 14029396
14029395 BXY 14029396*
14029396 BXX 14029396*-------------- (-) Lowest load rate
-------------------------------------------

The rears with with NNB or NNM tags are the ones you would look for.

-------------------------------------------
10018083 NNB 10018092*-------------- (+) Highest load rate
10018092 NNM 10018092
10018091 NNL 10018091
10018093 NNN 10018091
10032969 NYB 10018091 -------------- (-) Lowest load rate

Now, if you are looking for NEW springs, Moog makes factory repoductions, their part numbers are 5662/5665.

That is not even touching on aftermarket springs... but that will be a new topic. Wink

The aftermarket moog springs in the rear are softer than factory.

If handeling isn't important, I would think about either Eibach Drag-Lunch springs, or the safer bet, would be V6 front springs.
