I was thinking about buying the Eibach Pro-Kit drop springs for my 00 SS. Any info on them, likes/dislikes? Are they a pain to install? Just looking for some info on them.
Thanks Guys

 

Lots of people here have them. I installed them last year on my 94. I'm happy. Rides a bit harsher, handling is better.
Install of rear springs is cake. Front ones require more effort and requires a spring compresser (or take to shop that will change the springs and reassembe the unit).
If you are going to lower the car you should probably invest in an adjustable panhard rod to recenter the axle and relocation brackets for the lower control arms to get the angle right for traction. Front end realignment would be in order as well. Mike

 

I installed them in 1998.

They are variable rate, but ride is a little harsher. With Bilsteins HDs, they settled down nicely in the front on serious "moguls". My front ride height is 26" floor to fender peak (even on both sides), on a 1994 Z28 M6 with LT1. I would not recommend for stock shocks.

In my opinion, they were a little too stiff in the rear. The car broke loose a little too easily, but otherwise worked pretty well. Also, with the rear suspension hanging at full droop in the shop, the springs were so loose, that they would almost fall out. Since the middle of the year 2001, I have been using softer (about 100lb) Global West springs in the rear with better corner exit traction and off-the-line weight transfer. With the GW springs on adjustable height collars, I am riding at 26.25" (even on both sides) in the rear.

Otherwise, they are good springs for the money.

Thanks for the help. I've talked to a couple of people that have all said the same thing, but do you know where I can get the panhard rod and brackets? I called eibach, but the lady didn't know anything that I talked to.

 

you can get panhard bars at just about any online f-body dealer. Here is some for ya:
