Default eibach springs vs. stock for rear

i just put on new set of M/T 315/35/17 in rear of SS. Had Nittos before. M/T's are a bit wider. I am using eibach -1.5 What are the height and rate on the stock spring? If the car sits up an inch with higher rate it might work. Have not rolled the fender. Car is not used at track. Needed the M/T's in the rear because of 408 up front.

The stock rears are 114 lb.in., the LS1 pro-kit rears are about 80-137. IMO, going with the stock rear springs is you best bet.

I too have eibachs with 325-45-17. Sits a little too low for my liking, I will be swapping it out for stocks along with the heater hose mod. We will see what the turn out will be..

The eiback spring usually sit lower then stated, Another good option is a set of Hotchkis 1" rear lowering springs.

Took the eibach pro kits off the rear, reinstalled the slp/eibach with the heater mod. Will not go back. i love the ride and height.
