Ok what springs to buy?
What springs are great ride quality that you don't have to buy a bunch of supporting mods? I was a GM guy and just picked up a gorgeous 11 yellow blaze gt brembo package car. Wanting to drop it a bit but from what I've read a lot of springs need camber plates, phr, etc etc. Any springs that lower the car just enough that I won't need all the add ons? My Camaro SS had bmr springs and I didn't need to add anything.

Yes, you can do just springs, however we do recommend that you change a few other parts, especially to get the most performance/best ride out of your new springs.
An adjustable panhard bar will help re-center your rear-end after the drop. Our's is made in the USA and features a lifetime warranty.
Heavy-duty upper strut mounts are much stronger than OEM mounts and will also allow you to adjust your camber +/- 1 degree after the drop. Too much negative camber will increase inside tire tread wear. Though you do want some negative camber for increased handling.
We also recommend an upgraded set of dampers to go with the new springs as the stock dampers are designed for the stock spring rates. Your ride quality will not be as good with stock dampers and aftermarket springs as it would with aftermarket springs and dampers.
Is this your daily driver or weekend car? Do you track it? (drag, autocross, etc.)
Please let me know if I can help you with anything.
Best Regards,

It's going to be a weekend car. Will take it to car shows and what not. Probably 4 to 5 thousand miles a years. May take it to the track just to say I did but not going to be a regular of the Zmaxx quarter mile Dragway. TJ give me a PM on some set ups that you think would be good for my car and rough pricing when you have the time. Thanks everyone for the info.
