SLP Bilstein suspension Package! Lowers the car?

Got a 2000 SS and i bought it lowered and i dont like it. traction at the track sucks since it has no relocation brakets. I want to get the Bilstein package for it instead, but i was reading that the springs that are included the Eibach lower the car and inch is that right? and if so would i have to buy relocation brackets anyway cuz im trying to avoid that. Either way im gunna get the bilstein shocks cuz the rear ones are shot. So let me know what the deal is and what u think i should do thanks?

The Pro-kit hooks up pretty well also.

I have the Bilstein suspension and it lowers the car just under an inch.

I like it. Your car looks to be at the perfect height. You got some details...?

Thanks. As for details, I am not sure what you are looking for, but I bought the SLP Level 1 kit from Stealth Performance for ~$600 shipped. It comes with springs, shocks, front sway bar, 1LE LCA's and PHB. The setup works well, and is awesome for the street. The ride is close to stock, but it handles much better.

SLP has Eibach make the springs to SLP specs. These are not the same as the Pro-kit or Sportlines.

I have since removed most of the Level 1 for a more serious race suspension as the car is no longer a daily driver.

I would sell the springs, shocks, LCA's and PHB for $450 shipped or $400 picked up in Dallas.
