Look up B&G Suspesnion. They are a good German company that gives you the best bang for the buck.

Thanks. I'll look up B&G, I want some springs that are like the sportlines, better performance but not too harsh for a DD.

Found their site and I can't look up applications for their springs. Any place sell them?

What do you guys think about Summit Racing springs?

boarderbob · 11-04-2007

After some quick browsing, I couldn't find a vendor nearby that was even a wholesaler of B+G setups. Nor could I find anything online. That's not to say they don't exist, I just couldn't find them.

I couldn't find any complaints or praise about Summit Racing springs.

On a side note, I have the Eibach ProKit for my Grand Am and they're wonderful (just thought I'd give you some input on Eibach). I'll do some more looking for B+G products, sellers, and reviews and Summit as well. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks for any help I get. I know Eibach is a great company and have some wonderful springs. I just saw the summit ones for a price that is more affordable for me right now. On another board that I am on there is a guy who put the Summit springs on his Z28. He really hasn't been able to drive his car since he's in piolet training but he will get back to me on how they felt this weekend. I found the B&G website and looked for a few vendors but nobody was selling them. I also read a post where a guy said that they were alright.

The vehicle in question is a 1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS 2.8, if I'm not mistaken.

I was replying to this, just throwing it out that Andy's Auto Sports sells them, sorry for not being clear

They sell B&G's for Z28 Camaros, I don't know about Camaro's, so I'm not sure if there is any suspension difference between the Z28 and the RS that would make them not work

The suspension setup if the same. The only differences are really the spring rates and swaybar sizes. Thanks for the post. I bought Bilstein shocks and new LCA bushings instead of new springs.

Ahh, clarity does go a long way.
