Recently I got 18" Z06 Wheels for my car and I also got Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs. My question is do I also need Shocks. At the site where I got the springs http://www.lmperformance.com/c/1/1.html they said that these springs work with the OEM shocks. Has anyone lowered their car without replacing the shocks, anyone with experience lowering their car please lend some advice.

 

I originally lowered using the prokit and didn't change the shock or struts. It was OK for a little while, but it seemed to soft. The stock stuff isn't really heavy duty enough for the stiffer aftermarket springs and I found that they couldn't control the springs right. I talked to Strano Performance and they made suggestions on the best shocks for my setup.

 

Umm...4th gens dont have struts up front, that was the 3rd gens. And it is a good idea to get new shocks because the spring rate is different and the stockers might not beable to keep up.
