Default Eibach Pro Kit

Does anyone here have a pro kit for their Z28? Does the car scrape a lot with it? I am going to have to be extra careful because my car is going to be STS turbocharged next week, and I was thinking of lowering too. How will the car hold up with the kit? (I did a search on this topic and found nothing)

Thanks alot in advance.

As long as you have shocks that are revalved, to properly dampen the springs, you will NOT have any problems. Many will disagree, but I've learned different through personal experience! I've had them on the car for 4 years with ZERO issues. The only problem I have is with the ypipe, but I'm willing to deal with that for the performance increase!

Sorry to bump this thread, but I need more input! Instead of the eibachs, I'm probably going with the Bilstein BTS. Thanks guys.

get the lt1 prokit not as soft in the rear and you wont be riding on the bump stops, plus it still has that nice lowered look .....i love it call sam strano and have him set you up with the lt1's and a set of custom bilsteins, its a lil costly, but well worth it to have it done right the first time around. As far as clearence issues my Y-pipe is really close to the ground but i havnt scraped on anything yet, im getting ready to switch to duals

I'd imagine if he got the lt1 kit that his front end would sit quite a bit higher than on an lt1 car, due to the iron lt1 vs. lighter aluminum ls1, it'd look funny, but if lt1 guys would like to go lower then get the ls1 kit!
