suspension

i just bought a 1988 z28 for $1400 yesterday. ive had 3 3rd gens so far.
my question is what suspension does everyone recommend. as far as springs, shocks, etc. anything to make it ride smooth. ive been looking at brands such as QA1 and Eibach. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to TGO, beast. For future reference, note that there are various forums on site (for example the Suspension / Chassis forum). Posting in the best suitable one will yield the best results to your questions. Also since there aren't many questions that haven't been asked and answered here, a search can pay dividends.

Best luck with you project.

Re: suspension

welcome Beast:
I am using Koni shocks, Spohn bars, and I still have stock springs cut for ride height....depending on what you are going to, can't go wrong with sub frame connectors.

Just my cents worth...have fun with it...there is a load of knowledge on this site, and people are more than willing to help...as long as you help yourself.....using the search in each category, will be a huge beginning.
