Need Some Input On Springs/Shocks
The previous owner of my Z had Eibach Sportline springs and KYB shocks installed to lower the car. After reading through a bunch of threads on this forum it looks like both the springs and shocks are bad choices. I can tell you that the ride quality is abolutely horrible. I love the way the car sits so low, and it can take turns alot better than stock as far as i can tell.
2 questions
What do you think about my current setup as a daily driver?
What would be recommended as far as the best quality/handling/lowering springs and shocks combo?
I dont mind putting in some over time to get a better ride. I dont want to get thrown off my seat anymore!
Thanks

Well, if you like low, you might consider Eibach Pro-kit with some revalved Bilsteins or Konis.
It's really too hard to answer your question without knowing lots of factors.
*I* would call Sam Strano and discuss everything with him.

I took a look on Blistein's website and found that they make a spring/shock kit called the Blistein BTS System model # BTS-7501 for F-Bodies. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it. My current ride is too harsh and i still dont think it handles all that great.

what do you guys think? does this set look good? what other choices do i have?

So are the revalved Bilsteins / Konis the recommended shocks? I know they should perform better, but will the have a better quality ride than the KYB's i have now?
Are the Eibach Pro-kit springs the recommended springs for these shocks?
