Arrow Need help with lowering springs--

Which springs would you guys reccomend for my needs?? I want to lower the car from about 1-1.5 inches, but I don't want a sh*tty ride along with it. If anything i would like the car to feel the same as stock when driving around town. I just don't want to feel every bump in the road (she is a daily driver). I am going to lower the car more for appearance than for performance. I have heard the Hypercoils are good but I would like some more input on them and where can I get them at?

ANy opinions on Hotchkis springs or the SLP Eibachs??

let me know

I just installed the SLP Suspension kit on a 99 z28. Honestly it doesn't look that great. The front hardly lowered at all but the back dropped. I would go with Eibach Sportlines and a nice set of shocks. Bilstein makes damn good shocks.

For what you're looking for the SLP level 1 suspension kit is what you'd want. Nice performance with a smooth ride.

Go with DMS. If they're good enough for the sponsor of this site, they're good enough for me. And from what everybody says, they drop the car enough that it looks good and still don't give you a sore back when you drive around town. I've never heard anybody complain about DMS springs either.

I have Eibach Sportline kit. It looks killer and does give you a pretty good ride. The only down side is that the car settles alot on the so the 1.6 they say turns in to like 2.5-3.0. My tires rub on the inside of the wheel weel around hard power up corners. hope it helps. Mario
