Stance thread ***DON'T QUOTE PICS!!!***
2001 SS, 18X9.5/18X10.5 Z06 Wheels wrapped in KDW2's with eibach pro-kit and stock shocks.
I'm looking for a stiffer shock in the rear instead of the stock shocks, when i put luggage back there the car starts bouncing a lot when hitting bumps going down the highway and really squats the car, do i need like a QA1 12-way adjustable to stiffin it up when traveling? All input is appreciated, thanks

You should. It's lowered, but with what springs? Shocks? Wheels/tires? Isolators?

I assume Eibach for probably the front. I can't remember if the guy told me or not. A lot of things on my car were half assed, so I'm not too sure anymore. I assume stock shocks.
But I think it was dropped 2". Then I put 1" lifters so I can clear my driveway and such. I'm running stock tire size all around.

Thanks do they make different stiffness of shocks like they do springs? So i want to stay away from the adjustable shocks then?
Let's play a guessing game as to what "truely stanced" is. How about this?
17x9.5" polished zo6's, GC coilover in front, BMR with isolators in rear, Koni's all around
I had the rear lower with the isolators removed but it was just a little too low, I like the extra compression travel and it hooks better off the line now
