Default Please post your lowered LS1 Fbody

As title says please post your Fbody and your set up, the time is coming soon for lowering springs and have already searched for pictures and have looked everywhere and havent found enough pictures! Im considering either the eibach prolines, sportlines, bmr, or stranos. Out of those which would you guys recommend? Im gonna be running on stock shocks until summer!
Thanks in advance.

My guess is his experience was the same as a lot of others with the prokit - the ride sucks.

I wanted my car to handle better. not to mention I gotthe springs for 70. I didn't mind the ride of the pro kit but did not like how the car would drop onto the rear end with any little weight in the back

Pro kit w/18"&19" C6's. (repaired rocker panel and fender dent ) I just bought some ZR-1s and I'm considering switching to the Sport Line's but I'm not sure if that will be too low. HOPEFULLY somebody will post some pics with the same combination???

I have the Pro-kit, I hate it personally, too low, too rough, and while it looks good, it just doesn't perform. Strano's get my vote, my dad's Z28 has Strano springs, it's night and day in terms of functionality and ride quality.

I have Pro-Kit(Watts Link to Center), Konis, and the rear Isolator. Although, like many others...I plan to order some Stranos in the near future. My car doesn't sag at all, but I'm a firm believer in what Sam has done in the industry...and just want a better suspension.
