I am going to put a sportline lowering kit on my camaro and was wondering what kind of shocks I should put on since it will drop it about 2 inches.Any input would be great.Thanks

Wait!!! Don't purchase those springs yet!!!

Do a search and look for better springs. I think SLP uses Bilstein HD's with Eibach Springs in their Suspension Package.

I havent bought them yet I wanted some expert advise about it. I was going to get the eibach sportline springs. I just duno what kind of shocks to put with them cuz I am pretty sure the stock shocks wont work.

Sportlines are too low and too soft, you will be riding around on the bumpstops all the time with those springs.

the only thing they're good for are cars that sit around at car shows and aren't driven on the street.

Better options- Strano springs, Eibach Pro Kit, Hotchkis, and basically any other spring out there.

In any case, Im fairly certain that the Bilsteins SLP used were specially valved. Bilstein does not recommend their shocks with anything other than stock springs. Custom revalved bilsteins are the cheapest acceptable option for aftermarket springs. Then Konis are a little more but are adjustable and are good out of the box.

SLP Bilsteins are valved for the Eibach springs that came in the SLP kit. These are different from the Pro-Kit and the Sportlines.
