New Eibachs, have questions.
i just bought some eibach pro-kit springs, but im kinda starting to second guess myself after reading all the posts about lowering these f-bodies. pretty much my goal is to do some subtle suspension upgrades, a field that im not TOO familiar with. so i figured id start with basic lowering springs. i dont want to get wild at all, especially since i cant go welding on relocating lca's etc. i really just want more of an agreesive look with mild VERY mild upgrade to start out with. so what else do i absolutely NEED to lower the car aside from some good upgraded shocks and my pro-kit?
sorry that was long winded, just wanted to be clear.
thanks guys! you never let me down!

thats about all you ABSOLUTELY need. but i would recomend sub-Frame Connectors, and LCA relocation brackets.

I did the same thing you did (see Sig) my old shocks, struts, and springs were so worn out, The car looked like it actualy lifted.
Mine are the set with the one (1) inch drop. looks will not change much, but handling is great!

yeap same here, i replaced the shocks/stuts and put in a pro kit and the car maybe lowered 1" is all. The springs i had in it had about 95k miles on em. Pro kit wont slam your car but will drop it a hint and make it handle like a SOB
