GAME OVER

i lowered my car about half ayear ago and i dunno if its just my imagination or not but its starting to feel really bouncy...when i go over small little bumps it feels like im going airborn...is this because i need new shocks now or is that just how it is once lowered..please help

Shocks. Stock shocks weren't meant to work with higher rate springs and this is what happens.

What sort of suspension manners are you looking for from the car (i.e. what is the car's purpose - daily driver, autox, drag, rr...)?

I think HALs are probably a good choice if your primarily interested in drag racing.
For Better handling, I'd suggest Koni's or revalved HD Bilsteins.

its a daily driver but on weekends street racer..so what do u suggest?

99-LS1-SS

They have two different types of HAL's. They have a "F" series and a "R" series.
The "F" series is for all types of driving and the "R" series is for drag racing.

If a large percentage of your driving is on the street, I like revalved Bilsteins with the Eibachs.

I have the SLP revalves, and Pro kit, I hate it. it has too much body roll on the street and its too bouncy for me. Ill be looking to get a set of HD's and G2 springs in the near future. Give the hypercoils a try. When they were on the car it felt way more stable.

There was a post here about a month ago saying there may not be any more G2 springs made...don't know if that happened or not

Shocks can control the rate of body roll, but not the amount. Springs can reduce the amount of body roll by being harder to compress. Sway bars are designed to address body roll as a primary function. I'd consider sway bars before new springs if reducing body roll is your primary concern.

My thoughts.

I agree with the above post, roll is controlled mainly by your anti-sway bars.

I plan on finding a set of used G2's its a shame theyre not made anymore, but it was a good buisness decision. The suspension setup on the car right now besides having body roll is too bouncy for me also, and it dosent feel stable to me at all at high speeds. Every bump that I hit I feel like im in a truck with the way the car bounces. Im guess im just looking for something thats more overall aggressive, but my plans are to do the swaybars first.

The "bounciness" is a shock problem. Not really a spring problem. You are under damped by not having shocks that will work with your application. New shocks will more than likley fix your problem with the car being bouncy.

Stang Killer, I'm curious if when you put the revalved Bilsteins on the front, did you put the 3rd gen Bilstein HD's in back like Sam suggests, or do you maybe have the stock HD's in back?
