Default New spring help

I am trying to decide between Granatelli or Hotchkis. The Granatelli's are listed at 1.25" drop. the Hotchkis springs are listed at 1". I have the Bilstein package from SLP. What I need to know is, first, does the bilstein package include the eibach springs? Next, if not, will I have any problems with wheel rub? 17 x 9.5" ZR-1's. Also, will I need to get an adjustable PHB.

Since Hotchkiss makes suspension parts and Granitelli buys them from "sources unknown". I'd suggest Hotchkiss springs (out of the 2). I don't think you'll have any rubbing issues with your 17x9.5 wheels.

An adjustable PHB is not a bad option.

If you have the $399 SLP Bilstein package you
probably just got shocks, if it set you back
$600 then you got the SLP Eiback springs too.
That's probably the easiest way to tell. Don't
know if the Eibach springs are a different color
than the stockers' black paint.
