jmX, did you remove the front bolt and bushing on the C5? I can't see the airdam in the pic but I cant even get my toes under mine.
You need a set of HRE 541s on that thing.

With the ground-control kit is it possible to keep your shocks and change springs and ground control, because I have Koni adjustable's and don't want to change them.

www.ws6cottformula.cz28.com

APEX Coils, Bilstiens, adjusted camber, rear lca brackets.....

Nice and low and corners like you wouldnt believe. I had all the eibachs as well as the Intrax and i must say these springs have them all beat.. No uneven sagging or mushy feeling....

twice the price but I guess you get what you pay for??? <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
Good luck... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">

Eibach Sportlines...
A bit harsh on rough roads, but I like them and the look. I may be going to a different setup soon, so if you decide on the sportlines, I could give you a good deal on them and KYB adjustable shocks.

I'm about to bring the SS alittle closer to earth, but wondering how well the factory shocks hold up with the Eibach Pro kit or even the SLP Eibach kit. It is just hard for me to replace shocks with 3,000 miles on them.
