I want to lower my Z28, but I'm not sure what springs to put on? I definatley want to go w/ the Eibach springs. Pro kit, or Sportline? If I install the Pro kit, will I notice a difference in height? I'm afraid to install the Sportlines, I'm afriad of it being too low! You guys know the roads in New jersey aren't the best! This is a daily driver, whatcha think?

Daily Driver = Pro Kit. They are supposed to be good for a 1.25" - 1.5" drop, you should notice a nice difference.

Too add to an Eibach question, is it just me or do some Eibach kits look like the rear still squats alittle lower then the front?

Me personally, I want/need lowering springs & shocks, but I want that "classic" muscle car stance, but with as little handeling sacrafices as possible.

Any other recomendations on springs like BMR, or anybody else that has a good rep? Im not to worried about the ride height, just not slammed (extreme)

You mean the redneck rake? They just tossed on the skyjacker air shocks and pumped 'em way up.

well heres someones camaro from another board I frequent (www.antirice.com) He has Eibach springs, and the car to me looks like the rear still squats lower then the front. It looks good, and Im sure Eibach knows what their doing when it comes to performance, but it looks silly. I like the redneck rake :(

Maybe its the angle of the pictures, but I dont see many lowered camaro's with 17x11's in the rear for me to guage what I like.
