Eibach springs kit on FRC Vette Hi, I have a 1999 Corvette FRC, and sorry to be asking this question but I want to know if I buy the Eibach springs, is that all I would need to lower my car? I recently purchased some 18 x 10.5 rear z06 rims with 315/30/18 tires and 17 x9.5 front z06 rims with 275/40/17 tires, and the car sits wait too high, almost 4 x4 looking, what recommendations do you guys have to lower the car? Thanks.
These are the springs I was considering purchasing.

Do some research on your car. Corvettes do not have a coil spring suspension. The ebay user is selling a false product, I can't believe they have 99.9% feedback. They must have meant to post the Eibach lowering bolt kit but screwed it up pretty good.
Do a search on lowering a C5 and familiarize yourself with the suspension setup.

I took out the front lowering bolts completely, and trimmed the bushings on the rear bolts.. car is verrrrrrrrry low now. Takes about 20 minutes on each side on the front, and about 5 minutes on the back.
check on corvetteforum or digitalcorvettes.com to find a walkthrough of how to do this.. it's very easy actually

where are you located? dont take it to any of those idiots!
there should be a performance/race shop somewhere near you that can dial it in right.
i was going to use these specs.
i'm going to go with the 'advanced street' specs. little less tire life but more aggressive than stock.
