Replacing shocks and springs
Hey all, this is my first post on ls1 tech!
I have a 98 z28 and the shocks and springs are shot. I want to go back to stock replacement and give the car and nice ride. I'm sick of going over bumps and hearing the rear end smack my bump stops! I heard the eibach slp springs give the car a 1inch drop, would you guys recommend it?
Please give me your opinions of shock and spring replacement!!!

I think those SLP are like $300 bucks aren't they? If so I'd do what I did instead. I did the BMR springs for about $200 and then did a thicker spacer so I only dropped maybe 3/4" over stock. The Koni STR.T and Bilsteins shocks are a great replacement and value as well

Cool. Yeah for $150 i'd give them a shot. Like I mentioned above the STR.T's and Bilstiens are a great affordable option. My strut mounts were fine when I switched so I just used them
