and After with Eibach Pro Kit. I also had to replace the stock shocks with KYB's. The shock mounting bolts were so rusted that i couldn't back off the nut. It would just spin and the threads. So that was a $250 unexpected expense to replace the shocks and something id suggest anyone wanting to replace springs that are mounted on stock shocks budget for. However, i really like the look the Pro Kit gave me, it's not slammed but low enough to tell that it's lowered and thats just what I was looking for.

I have read in other posts that the ride quality for some with pro kits went to crap. Thats not the case with me and my ride quality. I haven't been able to tell much of a differance except for a little bit stiffer ride. Nothing unpleasent about the ride at all.

It looks really good! Such subtle drops really do these f-bodies justice. And the color of your T/A is dynamite!

Thank you for the compliments, i really like it so far and am glad I went with the prokit over the sportlines. Ive had sportlines in the past and even though they look awesome the ride was a little harsh. Anyone looking for some lowering springs i do suggest the pro kit!

Ovechkin- Thanks, the color is called aqua green Met. Looks blue in photos and full sun but more green in over cast or low sun light.

prokit drops the car about 1.25" and the sportlines drop it about 1.8".
