Default Eibach Springs

Has anyone had problems with their rears sagging? I'm thinking about getting the prokit with some bilstein shocks. If you guys know a better setup i'm all ears. I run 295/35/18 in the rear and 275/35/18 up front. I want to lower her but not too close to where it rubs. I just want a nice stance and well you guys are smart and get my point

I dont know the answer to your question but I have a set of the Eiback pro-kit springs that are brand new and never used that i will sell you. I got them from thunderracing for 240 plus tax and shipping. Ill sell them to you for 180 and you pay the shipping. BTW i like your sig, -"A Camaro looks like it could kick your ***, the Trans Am looks like it's coming over to do it."

Cool. If I get them from you there would be no need for shipping cause I live in Slidell as well. Thanks

The eibach pro-kit is a good set of springs for a street car. The bilsteins don't match the spring rates exactly but will work. I would recommend the Strano springs and the Bilstein shocks.

no ****. I haven't seen your car before. Have you had it long. Right now im in Ruston at Louisiana Tech, but the springs are at my parents house in Slidell. Whenever you wanna come pick them up let me know and ill let my parents know. Ill be in town in two weeks but if you dont want to wait that long just pm me and we can set up a time for you to come pick them up. I might know you through other f-body owners, do you know any body with a camaro/trans am? Nick.

Go ahead and roll the 1/4 panel lips. I would run air bags in the rear springs for alittle added spring rate, I had this set up with the same tires and they rubbed, most pro kits are lower in the rear even when new.

Cool. I think I have seen your car before. Is it red with the white stripes? The reason I ask is because I work at Lowes and always used to see on around that way when I would go on lunch. Air bags sounds like a good idea I may check into that

Eibach Pro-Kit springs will sag in the rear after some miles. They did on my car and I ended up installing the rear factory springs back on with the hose mod. The cars stance looked 10xs better

Im on my second set of eibach springs (with bilstein shocks)...the right rear is sagging way more than the left. I thought it was maybe the bad roads in Lawrence, but since then I have moved and have just noticed these sag as well now...Both sets lasted maybe about 2 yrs before sagging...Definitely going to look at strano's next with konis.
