eibach springs- how low do they go?
I have a 92 rs with an L03 305 and F41 handling package. I want to get eibach pro-kit springs but I'm not not sure how low they'll drop my car. I've gotten estimates from websites varying from 1 to 1.7 inches. I can barely get up my driveway as is! doesen anyone have these springs on a similar car that can tell me exactly how much they will drop it?

Prokit actually raised my car because the original suspension was 20 years old when it was replaced.
With the originial isolators still on the car the ride height with the prokit is 26.5 inches at the front fender lip and 28 inches at the rear.
Big improvement in handling.

I just measured my 91 Trans Am TPI with really worn out rear springs. It sits 28 1/4" up front and 27 3/4" out back.
DreamState21x--do you know the measurements on where yours sits.
I am looking for the same info that RS/Z28 needs. Anyone else have measurements with and without lowering springs?

Thanks.... The whole engine isn't out just some of it.. Just doing some work on the plenum, runners, AFPR, pullies, alternator, the car has 160,000 and still runs great, just cleaning some more under the hood and adding some goodies.. Im building a 475HP 350 for it now... Street engine too, not all out race.. Thanks again, later...

I've been debating so much about getting Sportlines or Pro-Kit. I think this picture just sold me Pro-Kits...
AWESOME car! What isolators do you have on those springs?

No kit will get you what I've got- custom taylored to ride height with aprox 800# fronts and 225# rears Lots of different combo springs and trimming to get it there. Been this way for 8-10 years and has never bottomed out.
