how low shuld i go?

im going to get some new springs for my 02 z/28. it seems like eibach is the way to go, but should i get the pro kit or the sportline?
what are the pros and cons to each set?

pro-kit

...sport lines make the car a bit lower. The pro-kit is what I've got and it's great, also keep in mind if later down the road you want long tubes you may re-think your decision. With the pro-kit I have to settle for FLP's when I wanted SLP's. But before you make up your mind look into other springs. I'm sure you'll get some help from some people. SLP has a nice set of springs that lower the car a conservative inch.

...good luck


..one more thing, you'll need to get LCA relocation brackets to correct the angles and stiffer LCA's if you plan on increasing horsepower or getting drag tires. But since you got an 02' you may want to break it in a bit.

I have the sportlines, pics are in the sig. I love the way it looks and all i added was an adjustable panhard rod to get everything aligned perfect. Ive had no trouble hooking up, or taking corner. Definetely feel the difference in the corners. I also agree that LT will be trouble with lowering your car, but i dont think there REALLY needed unless your putting out alot of HP with nitrous,TT,SC or heads cam swap ect.....
