Default Should I change my springs?

i have a eibach pro kit and i have heard that the springs suck mostly because the back is too soft...should i buy BMR rear springs only and keep the eibach fronts? would that make a big difference? i have bilstein shocks.

patience my friend, it's only been a few hours. is it the lt1 or ls1 pro kit?

are you willing to let the ride get a little stiffer (although lessen frequency of hitting bump stops) and possibly lose some launching capability?

The problem people usually have with the pro-kit is from the rear spring rates being to soft for the ride height, and them eventually sagging. The LT1 pro-kit is the better of the two (better spring rates). IMO If you've already got them, mount them(since nobody will probably want to buy them) , then when your 100% sure if you like them or not you can make a well informed decision.

i would just keep the pro-kit on there unless its really bad. no sense is doing the work all over again. i think the pro-kit has one of the best looking stances out of all the springs.

ok well im putting bilstein shocks in anyway and im going to start to autox but dont have the money for stranos and koni so originally i was gonna go bilsteins and prokit and i was just wondering if i should go bilsteins ls1 prokit up front and bmr springs in the back?? and if that would make a diference in handling?
