Default Trying to decide which springs to get...*PICS*
Trying to determine a good ride height and clean looking stance.

The first is the Eibach Sportline, I LOVE the way this looks.



This one has DMS springs and the wheels I'm pretty set on getting, and this is probably my favorite F Body Trans Am I have ever seen, and my current favorite F body Camaro is the same guy ha.




Anyways, what do you all think. I'm basically wondering who has what and any problems you experience in terms of rattles and all that.
Thanks
Nic

What drop is the Eibach? I only want about an inch to 1.5" drop. That first one looks too lowered, and the second just looks goofy.

I had the sportlines originally and I didn't like them. The car felt "sloppy", not stiff feeling. I currently have the BMR springs ang I like them a lot better.

I have the Eibach Prokit, but it rides was too rough for me. I'm taking them off this weekend and am going with either G2 or Strano.

Fork over about $200 more and you could have coilovers with endless stance possibility combinations.

I think I am the only person on here but I have no interest in lowering my T/A.

I would just say.. don't plan on headers.

If looks nice, but you'll be scraping on **** a lot, and with some brands of headers, you'd be practically dragging them on the ground.

I have lowered my car with Pacesetter longtubes and I do not scrape.

I said... "with some brands of headers". Try putting some SLP headers or a Loudmouth on it and see how that works. LOL

I'm putting Kooks on mine and it's dropped 2"... I wouldn't want to drop it any farther.

I say DMS springs, or talk to Sam Strano about theres. I have the Eibach ProKit and there are just better springs out there.
