Default Is it worth it?

I've got a question guys. I have a 2001 Camaro Z28 with the stock suspension. I bought a while back ago some shocks and springs off of a 2001 Camaro SS. They are Eibach springs and Beilstein shocks. Will it make any improvement to my car? Is it worth installing them? Thanks guys.

the lowering springs might be a little rougher. but overall the ride should be better if the shocks aren't worn out.

I have always heard that bilsteins are not a good shock if your planning on lowering the car.

Are these factory springs and shocks? The car was all original and only had 68,000 miles before it was totaled from the back end.

IF they are what I am thinking they will lower it about 1" and the Bilsteins will be an upgrade over the factory DeCrappins. Search it on here though cause GM changed things around a bunch and some SS/ WS6 kits were more appearance than substance.
