Default What springs are these/opinions??

Hey guys...

I was browsing on SLPonline.com and they have this awesome looking LT1 T/A and was wondering if anyone happend to know what spring package they thought that was...i contacted SLP and they said it was just a car they found on the net and pasted it onto their site. They said they don't have any info on it, and it's not one of their packages. So anyone well versed in springs....let me know what kind of springs you think they are. I have the Eibach Pro-Kit installed on my car, and i don't think it's low enough...i think the profile of this car looks amazing. I included the pic in here....let me know what you guys think!

Not really sure from the picture; I would have guessed Pro Kit.

This may help you find something you like: http://www.angelfire.com/my/fastcar/suspension.html

With all due respect i don't think that kit is the Pro-Kit by Eibach. I have the kit on my 94 Hawk, and it dosen't look like that. That chart was very clear...it's just the Pro-Kit told me by how many inches iot would lower it...and it wasn't very accurate. So it would be nice if i could find out what kit that one is...or maybe have some people start posting pics of their lowerd F-Body's and tell what spring kit they have...there's a white Z28 on this board (superchannelkev), is car is in his sig...it's a white Z with black ZO6 wheels...his car is lowered and pretty much looks the same as the pic i included....thanks in advance to anyone else how helps me out

I know it's way distorted...but i enlarged the pic to maybe help with the height...you can tell better form this pic....let me know guys, and as always thanks!! (if yo uclick on the pic...the little buttons for save and crap come up to the left....to the right there is a little box with arrows on all four sides, if you clck it, it makes the image larger...it helps to see the wheel gap better...)

well the pics of the t/a are taken from a higher angle which you have to take into account.. also Mtnm2, what size wheels are you running nd what shocks as well? those will play a part in it all. IMO the t/a looks as low as my car when I look at it in the same sort of angle/height.. hope this helps
