anyone have a lowered 98-02 z28 or ss? I have seen a couple and it looks pretty sharp. I think its something I may wanna do. Whats the best amount to go? I don't wanna slam it cuz I drive it every day and I do not wanna be hitting stuff all the time. Also what company has the best parts for this? Any advice is helpful. thanks.

depending on the roads around were you live, id say lower it. Im lowered on eibach prokit, the roads were i live are in good condition so I dont really have a problem with slamming or anything

the ride quality with the eibachs is poor at best. If you really want a good suspension set up I would go with either BMR or strano springs lowered on KONI shocks. That will give you the best all around feel, drive, and stance.

Don't do it if you have Longtube SLP headers, mine take a beating because i'm lowered. Also, be careful if you have 315's in the rear.

Lowering it is for losers... you should put a lift on it.

If I had it to do over again I would lower it some, but less than
I did. -1" still makes me look carefully at every swale and speed
bump. Ride is tolerable but not as nice as factory. I would like to
find a set of those SLP Eibachs (-3/4").

I agree. Be different.

Lower it, but it MUST be matched to quality shocks. At minimum Koni, I'd say.

consider lowering it 3/4" with just koni shocks/hose mod and stock springs

you can always put lowering springs on it later if that is not enough for you.

Hello
When you lower a vehicle...depending on how much you will need a adjustable pan hard bar due to the rear end shifting. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help.
Thanks

AHHHH-HAHAHAHAHA that brings back memories! There was a 2nd Gen F-body that was mounted to the top of some 4x4 frame that was running around my town when I was a kid.

Go as low as you want to, as long as you have the right springrate for it. More than 1.5 inches gets really close to the bumpstops and leaves little suspension travel left. Also, the problem with many of the 1.5 + drop springs available for our car is most have a springrate too low.

I'm partial to the Strano springs, 1.2 inch drop 550 front and 150 rear rates, lightweight materials, and a consistent drop unlike Eibachs and other springs out there that sag. With the konis, the car is extremely predictable and feels great. Still rides way more comfortably than a ton of cars that I've test driven on stock suspension.

Keep in mind everyone's opinion in ride quality and what you can tolerate can't be determined by asking people. Though you can find things out like how the sportlines are probably the most disliked spring here in many categories.
