Default Needing some advice

Hey guys, I have some questions and hoping to get some answers. Here goes:

I have Spohn LCA's and a Spohn PHB on my Camaro. Both of these are non-adjustable. My car is currently getting some repair work done and I am also getting an Eibach pro-kit installed along with new Bilstein shocks on all 4 corners. My questions are:

1st-What kind of ride can I expect from the new springs and shocks. Do any of you that have this combo have any feedback on it? Do you like this set-up?

2nd-Would you guys recommend getting bigger sway bars? Maybe a new Torque Arm? Would I see a noticeable difference on the street under normal driving?

The more important question is: Will my non-adjustable LCA's and PHB work on a lowered car? Would I maybe want to think about getting an adjustable set? I already know that I will need to get relocation brackets for the LCA's

This is my DD and a purely street car with no track time intended whatsoever. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

To answer your most important questions regarding the use of adjustable lcas and phb on a lowered car. You will need an adjustable panhard bar if your planning on lowering your vehicle, this will re center your rear.

So..what your saying is if I would not have been so cheap in the first place and have gotten an adjustable one, I would not be in this predicament and have to buy a new one? Man life sucks....

Exactly, when I bought the PHB I figured I was never gonna lower the car because of the SLP Long tubes on got on it. I just hope the Eibach/Bilstein combo works out good. I have not really read any truly negative posts about it. I was too cheap to go with the Strano/Koni combo.

I just did the hose mod in the rear and upgraded to 18in wheels to help fill in wheel gap...turned out very well.
