1997 V6 Suspsension Replacement Suggestions...

[limited360]

So I picked up a very clean 1997 V6 Camaro, M5... 127k on the car at the moment.

Suspension stock, completely blown out shocks. Car rides wonderful actually, just harsh inputs are not pleasent...

Looking at putting on Monroe Sensatrack shock / struts...

However I am thinking I should do springs, adjustable pan hard.... and what else to lower the car?

Its never going to be fast, its a daily driver / winter beater. I just want it to look clean.

I looked around and there are some 'kits' for doing a proper drop...


Input please!!!

For the best ride while lowered id do cut stock springs and bilstein shocks

Just need to pick a shock and a spring. I see Eibach makes springs particular to the V6... Thoughts?

I don't want to cut the stock springs as of now, rather find a replacement. I do not mind a firmed up suspension. I came from the 'stance' scene. Couldn't fit your shoe under the front bumper of my last daily driver...

Could also use founders parts

I have their lca,rlb,stb,adjustable panhard..probably swap out to adjustable control arms here shortly

Very well priced.

Thanks for suggestion.... looking into their parts as well now. I don't want the cheapest... but I also have to keep in mind this is the daily / winter beater...

They are very durable. Many guys on here have their parts.

Go with BMR then, but we just had a thread about cutting springs it is actually a very effective way to lower a car and if done right isnt "hackwork" at all.

I'm not doubting you in that... It's just these are worn at 127k. They need replacement.

I am installing cut OEM springs on my Marauder, however they are 46k ones only.
