I'm getting ready to finally lower my car and am going to buy everything at one time. The pro-kit isn't really low enought for my taste but I don't want the crappy ride of the sportlines. Which brand of spring would give me something in the middle of those too?? The car really isn't driven much so ride quality doesn't have to be great but i sure don't wanna ride on the bump stops all the time. and which brand lower control arms/ rear panhard bar do you all recommend?

Pro-kit not low enough? I hope you have nothing but perfect streets where you live. Not to mention doing anything like longtubes, shorter T/A, etc.

I live in the city and yeah the roads are pretty good. like i said i probably only drive the car 6,000 a year so ride quality doensn't have to be perfect. and no i have shorty headers so i'm not very concerned. I like the agressive stance and have the 315's in the rear so i want them tucked as much as i can but sportlines are TOOO low.

Hope you don't mind rolling your fender lip and/or massaging your wheel well.

How stiff of a spring are you wanting and what shocks are you going to use?

the wheels have been on for about a year now and yeah i had to massage the fender well but i didn't have to do anythign to the actual lip of the fender. i made sure to get the correct backspacing so that's not an issue. I don't have a specific stiffness of spring but am just looking at drop height. when i find out which springs are between the pro-kit and sportlines i'm going to call strano and get custom valved bilsteins.

Im confused bro looking online i can find Eibach kits with 1.0", 1.3", and 1.8" and they are the best springs made IMO have had Eibach's on 3 dif cars

Roach02

there's only two that fit the LT1 bodystyle camaro's and that's the pro-kit 1.3" drop and the sportline 1.8". I would like something right around 1.4 or 1.5" drop all the way around.

Eibiotch is far from the best. The best made springs wouldn't have issues like Eibiotch rear springs that too soft for the height that they ride on bumpstops (Sportlines) and Eibachs are also prone to settling in the rear making the rear lower than the front.

Popular yes, best....no.

And some friendly advise. Worry about the rate more than the height. I don't care if you get revalves, if your rear springs are too stiff it'll ride like a 1 ton truck and that isn't good for traction or handling. Talk to Sam about it before you buy.
