Default Eibach springs

I saw a thread on here saying that you can have some sag in the rear of your car with the eibach pro spring kits. But i was thinking if you but a good shock or a adjustable one you should't have that problem

Springs support the weight and shocks control movement.

Yes.

Like Mitch stated, shocks control the spring oscillation whilst springs support the weight and set the ride height, therefore if the springs sag then it's a problem that can only be corrected through spring selection.

Any particular reason for wanting an Eibach Pro-kit?

Here's something to suggest in case the "sag" becomes an irritant. Since it's mostly in the rear, you could reinstall the stock springs, and retrofit with the "hose mod." This will still lower the rear approximately 3/4", but won't leave you with the sag problem. Many dissatisfied Eibach users have resorted to this and have solved their "sag" problems. If that's not enough, than you could search for another aftermarket lowering spring that will not sag as there are several out there.

AFA Eibach quality, it's not that the spring material is bad (it's not), it's just that for the Camaro springs, their rear spring rates are less than optimal, which is why they tend to "sag" so easily. Nevertheless, no shock per se will solve a "spring" quality issue.

I have heard of a hose mod but what is it? What does it consist of.

I found it in less than 3 minutes using search, though it would help if it was a sticky.
