Quick help on parts interchange

I found a guy who is selling an eibach lowering spring set and an adjustable panhard rod. he says he will sell it all to me for 80. says it has never been installed. what parts out of this can I use on my 3rd gen. the panhard rods look the same. what about the springs?

thanks for the info. I did decide to get the springs and panhard bar. even though the springs don't fit the front it was a great deal. maybe ill sell the springs to a 4th gen owner and get the right setup for mine.

Can use your IROC / z28 Coil Springs and cut a coil to match rear ride height
Spring rate will increase

Re: Quick help on parts interchange

80s - s10 with the 4 Bolt cover can reuse pitman /idler arm

3 bolt one you need to use s10 pitman / idler and will change steering geometry and lose some turning radius

IMO I say keep power steering unless your drag racing too lose front end weight or just strictly cruising
