Lowering Kits, Suggestions

I need some suggestions on a lowering kit for a 99 Z28. I have my eye on this: http://www.thunderracing.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=subcategory&subcategoryid=1068 It's the lowering kit about 2/3 of the way down. I'm just curious if this is a good one. Should I get some shocks to go along with it? Also, do you think it will allow enough room for 18's and rubber? Thanks

id only go with a 1inch drop

get mac

my sponsor has some good springs check it out in the link in my sig

My buddy has macs and they're great,.

will lowering springs help with traction or make it worse or keep it the same

Lowering your car will make you lose traction.In order to get it back you need some LCA re-location brackets.
Kevin

In the corners you'll gain traction, in a straight line you usually lose it due to higher spring rates thus less weight transfer.

is it hard to put relocation brackets on....i just remembered they're sitting in my garage.....bmr bolt on kind.....

I think your banging problems had more to do with your choice of header. SLPs hang very low

yea about the GRound countrol coilover kit, i got it on my 95z and i love it, the ride isn't bad at all, i just put them on cause i had intrax springs and i hit everywhere, now i raised it with the coilover kit and its awesome, rides nicer and still can barely feel any body roll if any, make sure u good sway bars also if u do autox, my next step is shocks cause im still saving up money so i got stock shocks still and it still rides sweet.
