Default Eibach Springs?

Which ones, Pro-Kit or Sportlines, the Pro-kit says its is for moderate lowering and the sportlines are for extreme lowering. So which ones are the best for our type of ride, I don't want any rubbing in the wheel wells and I dont want to sacrifice any ride quality . I need help

Go with the pro kit
We installed it on the 2000 SS and it lowered the front 1.5 inches and the back almost 1 3/4. That worked out great because it leveled the car.Just installed the FLP long tube headers yesterday and I would'nt want the ride any lower. The rears were easy and the fronts took a lot longer. Be prepared on the fronts, for rusted strut bolts under the mounting bracket. We were able to clean the threads and lubricate them enought to remove them. clean and paint the upper supports where the water gets trapped in there before you put it back together.

I would think you would be too low for comfort with the sportlines, go with the prokit many people on the board have them and they seem to be very good. Good Luck

Go with the pro-kit I have the sportline with 18x10.5 in the rear and it is a rough ride and bottoms out if there is any weight in the rear of the car.It also tucks the front tires under the fenders and the front struts cant handle it. I have after market struts and it has already ruined them too. They were monroe shocks by the way. 1000 miles and there gone!
