Spring experience/ Bachs or H&R?

My part loyalty tells me install Eibachs but the H&R's look really good, they lower the front more than back. I'm looking to lower the car stiffin the springs for less roll pitch and dive. Any recommendations fellas?

So progress is the recommendation. Can you tell me why? And did you guys purchase and install a camber kit? Thanks!

These don't use a camber kit. I think with some serious cutting you can weld a plate in, but there isn't an adjustment kit for these. I think you can get an offset strut mount bolt or something to that effect, but I'm not the one to ask about that.

As far as the Progress springs go, those and B&G seem to have the least issues after installation and most people appreciate the level lowering they offer.

I just looked at TTR's site and there are no camber kits for our car. Unless you can show me these work on the RL. Everything I've seen, there are no camber corrections for this body.

There isnt any springs out for the redline that offer a low enough drop for it to get cambered. I think the h n r and the progress give similar drop.

what he said. Contact OTTP for special bushings to stabilize your lower control arms. I should have a trick streetable one done in the next few weeks that Josh will sell these dont need welding and are weatherproof, see GM build book for details on the race application That way you dont need to worry about camber and DONT USE POLY in the FLCA ! If you wish camber plates you can have them but requires major strut tower surgery dont go there!
