Got a 1995 Z28 with an EiBach prokit. Will Long Tubes clear or be too close to the ground?

Yes it will clear. "too close" depends on the person. I have to take ramps/speedbumps at an angle to avoid scraping if thats what you mean. Still scrapes sometimes, lowering puts you at that risk.

My springs were on when I got the car, so I can't tell you alot about them other than they are Red LG Motorsports Springs (which I hear may be someone else's that LG re-branded and sold?) but it looks to sit about the same as yours except on 17" SS (ZR1) wheels. I have TPIS longtubes and 3" offroad Y and it scrapes on EVERYTHING!! I have already found some stock springs to swap onto mine, but I'm keeping the KYB AGX struts/shocks. Thinking about just swapping the rear springs first to see if that rake keeps it from scraping as much....may look cool....but I'm old so my opinion is diff.

I have adjustable coilovers on my car currently and as you can see in my sig my car is low, a good amount lower than the Pro-Kit. Occasionally I will scrape the flange connection that connects my LT's to my x-pipe because clearance is lost with that style connection. I scrape them when going down the road too fast and hitting some bad dips, haven't gone through any speed bumps but would imagine that not being too pretty. When I was lowered with Strano springs which give you an almost identical drop to the Pro-Kit, I never had any problems at all.
