how much were your springs and how much did it lower your car? i had an eibach prokit on my 94 Z28 and i liked it. don't know if you had much experience with eibach. I need to get my 01 lowered it sits like a 4x4.

They were $189 on a GP on another site.
Thay lowered it about 1 1/4"
Ive heard a lot of good things about DMS springs and had to try them.
Right now Im happy.
Tighter ride, tighter corners

No trouble yet but I know I have to be careful of deep driveways, spped bumps, etc...
They go for $185 + S&H on their site, $169 + S&H on the GP. But I havent been albe to get to it lately.
PM me Ill let you know the site, and you can let me know if its up and running or not.
The GP was only two weeks and this might be the last week.

you can reuse the old struts, but everyone recommends changing them (espeically the fronts) since you have to take them off to get the springs off anyway.
