I have a buddy who's had a '94 V6 and a LT1/T56 sitting on the bench waiting to go in it for over three years now. Among some of the parts he's had sitting around for it and some Eibach Sportlines (1.8" drop). He said he'd sell them to me pretty cheap. To anybody who has these on their car: Do you reccomend using these? Or is the car just too low to be practical for everyday driving? Also, is it essential to also install bigger sway bars with lowering springs? If so, I know where to get the 1LE set fairly cheap. Are these good bars?

Thanks,
Jordan

 

no need what so ever to put new sway bars on...stock is fine.

yeah you'll probably get better handling with bigger bars...but you'd get that with stock springs too.

what you do need to replace is the shocks...stock will not cut it at all for lowering springs...especially sportlines

 

Is that to say don't even do the springs until I also do shocks? Or would I be OK sticking with stock shocks, and they just wouldn't live up to their potential? I can't afford shocks right now, and I'm only considering the springs 'cuz I can get them really cheap...

 

Don't do springs unless your wanting to do shocks. You need your shocks to handle the stiffer springs and the stockers arent up to the task for that.

I recently lowered (and put new shocks) in my car w/out a swaybar too. And then bought a swaybar a few months later. If I were to compare, getting a 35mm hollow swaybar was a MUCH bigger handling imporvement than going shocks/springs only

 

Sportlines are not worth it. They sit too low with too little rate.

You'll also need an APHB when you lower.
