Re: Eibach's?

whichever springs u go with make sure that you buy adjustible suspension pieces like rear control arms and panhard bar to recenter your cars center of gravity.. otherwise traction will be a bitch.. i decided to just leave mine like it was because its already low enough and scrapes everything in site.. but it does look good lowered more... good luck
Someone told me this on CarDomain. Is this True?

Re: Eibach's?

PHB just allows you to adjust for a correct length. When you lower, the stock PHB will push the rear to the left. LCAs do not need to be adjustable. Thats only handy when you need to center a large wheel/tire combo in the wheelwell. Just get LCA relocation brackets.

#1 GET GOOD SHOCKS. Your stocker will hate stiffer springs.

As for the Vogtland. I read their website. They say their competition springs are the lighter material, not their street springs. Just something to check out if you decide on them. I'm running the B+G's. They're fuggin stiff. You really better have a good shock for them, and IMHO the rear rates are too stiff. Good thing about them is they're guaranteed never to sag. I found some H&R springs for a decent price on ebay. They'e not anymore expensive than others out there, but again these springs will require a good shock. More so than the Eibiotch, BMR, etc.

As for Eibach, I've read too many posts about people complaining about them sagging in the rear and riding rough because they're riding on bump stops.

The Vogtland springs for the F-Body do use the same VVS Alloy material as the coilover and NASCAR springs. They also have a lifetime guarantee against sag.

Re: Eibach's?

I had a set of eibachs that sagged pretty bad. In the front it was spring touching shock. Very ugly. I bought the car used and they had put the sportlines on it with stock shocks. Now I am running bilstiens for the shocks and different eibachs, like the pro line.

Re: Eibach's?

I have the Eibach sportline springs, and I'm ok for clearance, and its even a more agressive stance than the prokit.

Re: Eibach's?

My prokit sags







I still like them though

Most important thing is to get good shocks that are matched for the spring rate
