Cool Eibach Pro kit vs Sportlines

I just bought a 1999 Camaro SS M6 that had some light mods done to it by the previouse owner. One of them being Eibach Sportlines installed. The car is just too low, scrapping every where. I have a 95 Formula with stock springs and Im happy with the ride height on that, but I understand that the car is 11 years old and is prone to some sagging. So, my question is, would I benifit more from buying the pro kit or something similar (Hotchkiss, ect) or should I go completly stock to get a happy median? MY objective to obtain an excellent handling car that doesnt wheel hop but doesnt scrap all over the place. I eventually want long tubes but dont see that as being possible with this set up. Its going to be a driver with occasional track use, road course AND drag.

Re: Eibach Pro kit vs Sportlines

The prokit is a much better choice in my opinion, the sportlines are much too low and they will probably cause your car to handle worse than with the Prokit.

and the prokit will be more comfortable as well (less bounce)

Im not a big fan of the sportlines. They offter too little travel and not enough spring rate.

With what you say you want the ProKit is deff the better choice for you. I have Sportlines and love them and the look of my car, but everything the guys in this thread said about them are true! lol

Re: Eibach Pro kit vs Sportlines

i have the pro-kit, and think it's perfect. THe best combination IMO, is pro-kit with 17x11 wheels wrapped with 315 rubber, looks MEAN. And you can't do that with sportlines................

Re: Eibach Pro kit vs Sportlines

Too bad Eibiotch springs are known to settle lower in the rear.

You LT1 guys should realize that the LT1 prokit is different than a LS1 prokit.
