Lowering car with Pro-kits what shocks to use?
Hey guys so I just got the Eibach pro-kits and I was wondering which shocks work best with them? I do mostly drag racing, but it is a street car if you know what I mean... So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have the pro-kit with KYB GR2s.
I really like my ride--its not hard or punishing. I had Gas-Adjusts on an IROC before and they weren't bad but it rode a bit harder.

I got tokico 5 way adjustable illumina's. Great shocks
For the street, just turn up the settings to stiffen it up. For the track, lighten up the front, and play with the rear i like medium stiffness for the rear shocks but light up front. Car 60 foots very well. 1.5's on motor with 11 second 383 and 1.41-1.45 with a 150 shot. Its not a drag only car, still has swaybar and such. For a prokit and these shocks, it leaves the line very well, yet handles extremely tight with the street wheels on it and the shocks turned up. its a dual purpose car

If your wallet will allow it, Koni SA's.
