				Bilstien/slp eibach before and after
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Before and after from stock a/c delco front and rear shocks/springs to the bilstien with slp spec'd eibach springs.  
I didn't want to drop it to much because of the umi chassis mount torque arm  
for long tubes which is low enough as is. But I wish I got a little more out of these. Over all the car is night an and difference driving it. 
 
Suspension mods.  
-front and rear bilstein shocks 
-front and rear slp spec. eibach springs 
-32mm solid spohn sway bar 
-spohn non adjustable rear panhard bar 
-spohn non adjustable rear lower control arms 
-umi adjustable chassis mount torque arm /w ds safety loop for long tubes
 
Next is going to be tubular k and front upper/lower control arm and rear sway bar.

			Oddly, you have the tallest Eibach set-up on an F-Body I have ever seen. Perhaps it is because they're so new but, with a few hundred miles on them now, I'd have thought they'd settled more. If you get bored enough one day, you can try my Koni/Strano set up and see if it changes the ride height drastically, or just confirms that you just have a taller car from the factory.  
 
Nonetheless, between the suspension changes and the Recaro seats, ride-alongs are always a blast.

			this is the SLP eibach kit, not the prokit/sportlines.  It's not supposed to be more than a 1" drop   
I had the same setup at one point but I sold the front springs in favor of something lower, not knowing anything about valving/spring rates.  I don't know if my setup was worn out by the time I got it (bought it used), but one thing I did notice was the rear liked to jump when I hit bumps around corners, which wasn't the most stable feeling.  I replaced the rear bilsteins with Koni 3rd gens which helped a lot and eventually replaced the rear springs with something softer also.  It did handle pretty well though, was a HUGE upgrade from decarbons.  The first time I got on the highway the car felt totally different, I never noticed the floaty/bouncy feeling until I had the new setup on it and it was solid.
 
looks good!

			I don't know how much more I can drop the smallest of speed bumbps straight over hit my t/a cross member. So I already have to go over at an angle.  
 
But haven't had much hop around corners, I'll have to think about it.  
 
-mike- I didn't realize when we went up to bear mtn the seat was a little forward and I adjusted it a little so the passenger is more reclined

			It was probably more due to worn shocks then, never really knew for sure.  I bet its a whole lot more fun now.  I just raised my car back up a bit from super low, with the extra travel its really nice.  I still sometimes wish I kept that setup or just did bilsteins with stock springs.

			My car was at monster truck level so stock wasn't happening.  
 
It's like a whole new car now!
