lowering springs dilemma

i have a 1997 z28 with the rk sport ground effects kit..im running 19's on the car as well..my question is..if i install the eibach pro kit i just bought, will it be lowered too much? i want the whole tire showing, i dont want part of the tire to be covered by the rear or front fenders...or should i go with a lowering spring that only lowers the car 1'' all around? also what shocks would be best for my situation?thanks

Koni's would be the best, all the other shocks are ment for stock springs unless you go with revalves from strano. Post in the handling/braking section of this site thats actually ment for these kinds of questions and I'm sure you'll get more answers.

I think the pro-kit doesn't drop it but an 1" or so. You should be alright. I've got the sportlines, to low for me. Scrubs every damn where

Pro-kit advertises 1.3" but it's more like 1.5" or more. I think 19s are too big for stock height, but you're pushing it with those springs. I'd go with BMR or something like that and at least some Bilstein HD shocks. Koni's are the best.
