Hi guys.

My friend wants to do suspension modifications and he needs some advice.

first off he wants to know which shocks are better for Camaro

Bilstien or Koni

Also he has Eibach springs which will give him drop of 1.6 in a front and 1.3 in a rear. The thing is he wants his car to be as low as possible and he wants to put Intrax springs with a drop of 2 in front and 1.8 in rear, but how much worse are those springs than the Eibach?

BTW his camaro is 1989 Z28 305

The Eibach springs that he got are sportlines and he said thats as much drop as they give for his camaro.

There's a reason for that...

Those are nearly too low already. The Koni's are the best shocks (I love my Koni DA's). Expensive, but worth it.

I would say either Bilstein or Koni should give you what you are looking for. I just picked up a set to replace my worn stockers. Can't wait to get them on

i say it depends on budget. personally bilsteins are the best as i've had them all so i wouldn't go any other way with a choice. with that said i really like eibach springs as well but it's another opinion after running other setups.

if they want a low drop go sportlines and bilstein sports. if they want a decent drop from stock (basically probably how it's sitting now with worn springs) then go with the pro-kit and bilstein hds.

extremely important to match these two. if you swap one setup with another it really affects the ride. anyhow bilstein hd's and eibach pro-kit is the best ride i've ever had with any of my suspension changes ever and i've had almost all of them.

I called one place up here and guy quoted 2000 bucks canadian for a job . damn ... i'm thinking we gona go see him on thursday i think and see if we can find a cheaper package since guy is not going to compete,

Well when i called in day time before i read your reply i asked for set of eiback sportline, set of koni shocks, instalation fee, delivery, weel alighment

kandied91z

well springs are 240. konis are depending on color are 3-500 and alignment at best is 100 in american.

average cost of install is around 2-300 at most....this is all in american of course.

i did my complete suspension springs, struts/shocks, sways, lca's, panhard, subframes, etc. for alot less then that. start shopping elsewhere.
