decided to go with eibach pro kit good or bad choice for '88 ws6?

well i have decided to lower my car but i just read in another post that some ws6 cars already sit lower then regular 3rd gens is this true? also is it worth it to lower the car other then the fact that it looks good. will i run into problems any where? i have brandnew ws6 shocks and struts so i have nothing worry bout there but what else anything else to worry bout? also is this something a regular person can do? any help would be great thanks!! also if u think there is a better spring that will drop my car only an inch or so inch and a half at the most let me know! can i still use air bags with it lowered?

I think they do set lower like the IROCs but the lowering is in the spring. So by changing from one lowering spring to a lower lowering spring your car will not drop the 1~1.5 inches as advertised. I believe the IROCs were lowered about .75 inches from the reg. camaros so your WS6 may be similar.

you can still use airbags. height doesnt matter. and it will lower your car maybe not as much as what it says but call eibach and find out how much. they know that kind of stuff. and if you do go with a lowering kit go with the dropped spindles. it doesnt mess up your geometry on the front end as bad. but do what you please its your car.

allright thanks guys are drop spindles pretty easy to put on? aposed to putting lower springs on? just wodnering.. i was almost thinking just of dropping the front down but not the back what do u guys think? also is the pst kit pretty good? i want to have the front end all redone.

I don't know how much you've looked at your suspension. But bro, you have to remove the springs just the same when doing the spindles. otherwise you'll have a big hole in your chest from that spring popping out. LOL
