Eibach & KYB its a beautiful thing

Just got done installing my Kyb GR2's and my eibach prokit. its just plain incredible. incredible ride and handling. not rough at all, at least not compared to stock springs with gabriels. will go nice with the 275/40/17s going on on all four corners next week.

cant go wrong with ur combo...

and when ur car is lowered its recommended that you get a adjustable panhard rod and LCA relocation brackets. the LCA relocation brackets alone prevent wheel hop.

yeah , i got the same exact combo on my car, it is great, so much of an improvement over stock, handles great too. Now if you really want to top it off get a Energy Suspension bushing kit, that'll make it all new

hey guys for an update, ive canceled the idea of the 17 inch roh wheels since i found a set of polished 91-92 z28 wheels for dang cheap. and since ive wanted those rims for 7 years or so, and since i think they are the best looking stock wheels ever.....im picking them up this weekend. i will be selling my 16" billets after i get some tires on my new rims. Anyways those ROH wheels i was going for were the Reflex's for 95 dollars each. at groupawheels.com they also have all the other styles of roh wheels for our cars. also if you dig 18 inch OZ racing wheels, cheapwheels.com has a 18x8.5 for 700-800 for all 4 if im not mistaken, but in pursuit of my stock sleeper looking dream im going with the stock 91-92 z28 wheels, im ditching my iroc hood and stickers (mind you i have no iroc stripes as i have a california stripe delete car) for a stock flat hood. just want to blend in more til i let the loud pedal fall.

sup y'all,

i have a set of pro-kit springs i'm about to put on my GTA.

it has the stock shocks and struts still on the car, but it only has like 46K miles. i was going to buy some kyb's, but maybe i don't need to quite yet and they can wait? what do you think? so many other things i want to get and my ride is pretty smooth as it is.
