Nice. I think the prokit offers the perfect drop for a street and strip vehicle. I am going to have to show these pics to my friend, he has the exact same car/color/wheel combo.

It looks exactly like mine. Give it 200 mil or so and it will break in and drop a little lower.

Thanks guys for the positive reponses. Most of the guys on LS1.com said they couldn't tell a difference.

How did it change the ride of the car? Does it feel a lot different than stock?

It's definitely more stiff than stock, but I never could take sharp turns at 60 mph either. I paired them up with Bilstein shocks, so they just add to the handling. A great investment imo.

Looks 100 times better. I like the ProKit, great luck with mine for 1 1/2 years now. It has settled low, but I like the look. (This is on stock shocks too). Pics at the following >>

It does look great. I'm definitely lowering mine. How much did your Eibach/Bilstein setup cost? I need to know how much to save up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I ordered the complete lowering package from www.thunderracing.com (it includes springs, BMR adj. panhard bar, and lca relocation brackets)for $411.00 and the Bilsteins from www.hpaparts.com for about $400.00. Good luck guys, and again thanks for all the compliments <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Yes it is. It's right off of FM 529. Do you live in the same area?
