I'm looking for what will give the best ride while lowering the car 2 inches, for street driving. I understand their is SEVERAL directions i can travel with an endless list of cool parts.

I think you're missing the point. The way you are currently asking your question sounds like you wish to only use the C5 spindle, adapting it to your stock suspension. If so, your question sound a bit like, "What is the best airplane propeller to make my sailboat go faster?" The two are simply incompatible.

So, what suspension are you running? Stock Camaro? Or are you dropping the entire C5 front suspension in?

If you're looking for a "C5 style" spindle, SpeedTech AFX is going to be one of the best. The tall version provides a 1 inch drop. A cheaper option is the CPP C5 style spindle CP30013. It maintains stock ride height. It is arguably more of a low budget piece made from cast steel.

That's a good one analogy. I'm adding that to my arsenal.
