well i think im gonna go w/ ur guys advice with the "Eibach Pro-Kit Springs"

but what shocks should i go with im still using the same shocks and springs that came w/ the car so those Eibach will probably raise me a few inches (hopefully im tired of scrapping parts on speed bumps at 1/4mph and hitting my passenger door on curbs)

so i would like ur recomendations for shocks for me, i probably wont see the track just driving to work and back every day, probably 50% freeway 50% bumpy streets

 

I was under the impression that their springs only lower the car, unless you get Drag Launch ones.

eibachs lower your car approximatley 1 inch. As for the shcoks, bilstien are the way to go.

 

so ur saying those springs wont let me clear speed bumps? im prety sure my springs now are really sagging due to being 10 years old, im about 3-4 inches lower then my buddys camaro

 

This is the route I'm going, The pro-kit with blistens HD's

 

Unless a previous owner cut your springs or you shocks are totally shot you shouldnt be sitting that low. My Z is 10 yrs old and doesnt sit any lower than other Z's. Most aftermarket springs lower your car anywhere from 1-2.5 inches from stock height. I cant tell you what it will do on your car since I cant see it.

Hi There,

I have the Eibach pro-kit and the Bilsteins and my lowest point is at the exhaust flange connecting to the header collector is 2 5/8 from the ground. I can make it over speed bumps though just real slow.

 

Eibachs will lower your car no matter what shocks you use. However, you do NOT want to reuse the stock shocks. They are really not good even for the stock setup and will be even worse with aftermarket springs. Go with some Bilstein HDs, or if you are really into handling Koni SA front and Bilstein HD rear combination. Contact Sam at stranoparts.com for a good deal and great support.

 

well i looked under there while i was doing my oil this morning, (front)

it seems the first 5 coils of the 10 in the spring are all touching? this doesnt seem right to me...

ive also heard that low profile tires will give additional wear and tare on the suspension and i used to have 17" rims on my ride.

i reached my finger in there collected the dust off and the shock was orange so it is probably the original.

and is it natural that the spring is only half way up the shock? i would think the shock and spring would both be connected to the axel or something, but instead just the shock

 

maybe you already have lowering springs

what color are the springs? if they are black, check to see if "eibach" is on them in white. if they do, its the pro kit. if they are red with eibach on them, sportlines

 

Get some Bilstein HD's on that unit.

 

its kind of a crappy picture but heres a link of a pic i took w/ my new picture phone
