I'm curious as to what people are using for shocks and springs when doing their LS1 swap.

I'm using the Hawks k-member, so I'm going to lose what - 100 to 150 pounds total in the front end? I'm thinking of putting lowering springs in the front to compensate, and I need new shocks in the rear anyway.

What are you guys (who have completed or are in the middle of your LS1 swap) using for springs and shocks?

 

DropZone lowering springs all around

You'll need the lowering springs to keep the stock height in the front....

You'll loose more then 100 pounds in the front BTW...

My car sits perfectly even right now, that's with LS1, Fiberglass Hood, removed light bar, aluminum radiator,etc etc

 

V6 Springs all around and stock struts and shocks. Steel hood, no A/C, no Front Sway Bar and alot of other components removed from the engine bay, plus Aluminum radiator. It seems to sit a little bit high, but its not that bad. There is no way I'm going to lower it because the exhaust just cannot go any lower for my preferences.

 

GM CDB (WS6) front springs, 1/2 coil removed, 34mm hollow front swaybar.
Hypercoil 175# rear springs, aftermarket 1" solid rear swaybar.
