Default Pro-Kit with Billsteins

was looking around the mega thread and saw the section on before/after lowering springs part. when i saw some cars with the prokit...they looked good, but then i saw a PEWTER FIREHAWK that said prokit/eibach and the car looked like ****!!(for my taste) it looked not only stock, but like it was lifted from the front, like 4x4. i already purchased both the prokit and bilsteins....what should i do????

I doubt he had a Pro-kit then..
I have the Pro Kit from Eibach, it dropped the Car about 1.5" all around.

Possible he was running the SLP Eibachs.... they lower less than an inch, and I've read that they dont lower the front and rear evenly. I have the Pro-Kit, love the look, but man I do not live in a good area for a lowered car!

I really don't think you've got anything to worry about. I've got a black SS and I'm running bilsteins with the pro-kit and the car looks pretty much slammed.

My Pro-kitted SS is lowered evenly and has a nice blend of "low but not too low." There's a few pics in my Fquick if you want to get an idea of what it's going to look like.
