Lowering Springs
Lowering Springs
Hi,
I have a '91 Z28 with KYB adjustable shocks and suspension techniques lowering springs. The lowered height should be 1 inch but in actuality it is lower than I like and the read is higher. I was thinking about going with Eibach springs and selling the springs on Ebay. I have heard alot about the shocks and struts not compressing thus the higher look in the rear. Please give me advice on this and suggestions. All feedback is appreciated.

The pro kit offers about a bit more than a 1" drop. Afew few searches should yeild enough pics to base your choice on. Struts and shocks will not affect the ride height of the car at all.

Eibach springs
I have KYB AGX shocks and Eibach pro springs and like them a lot. They are vastly superior to stock. I was scarded of the Eibach Sportline, that they might be too low, I still think the same thing.

I have sportlines. They look GREAT. Haven't driven the car, but with a stiff set of struts/shocks you shouldn't have trouble. The car might be lower but there is less travel in the stiffer springs.
